21st Century Strategies and Tactics

Overflow crowd listening to Ken Kay who is the Executive Director of the Partnership for 21st Century Skills. His talk focused on aligning the educational process with the economic drivers of the 21st century.

Great info at their website to be linked later.

From the strategic to the tactical, I attended a terrific presentation by a Colorado school district implementing a one to one lap top program. This was a nuts and bolts conversation. An Administrator, Board Member, and Tech Director/Teacher presented their experiences.

On stat that I heard ( needs to be verified) was something like 20% of districts across the country are working on one to one laptop programs.

Keynote speaker today is President Clinto.
