Dr. John Phillipo, one of the leading visionaries in education technology planning, implementation, and school reform, offers an insightful overview of how a comprehensive information technology system can and should be used to support and initiate contemporary education reform. Several scenarios will be used to explore strategies for revitalizing the curriculum, transforming the management of schools, and incorporating core technology competencies into the classroom to meet the social, economic, and educational needs of all students for the 21st century. The presentation will include a discussion about which districts are most successful in rolling out communications tools like SchoolMail and SchoolBlog for student use in achieving the NETS standards and meeting 21st century skills and what "critical success factors" are inherent in successfully implementing Web 2.0 in K-12 schools. The Chairman/CEO of CELT will enable you to come away with a better understanding of the tools and technologies that are likely to have the biggest educational impact in the years to come.
