School Summit Explores 21st Century Tech
More than 1,000 educators from school districts across the country convened in Washington, D.C., last week for the Consortium for School Networking's annual conference. Attendees explored the role technology plays in providing U.S. students with the skills necessary for success in the 21st century.
"Every year the conference provides a forum for educators and thought leaders to trade anecdotes, share best practices, and come together in a truly collaborative fashion with one main purpose - to discuss how to strategically use technology to improve K-12 learning," CoSN Board Chair Sheryl Abshire said in a press release.
Conference topics ranged from "21st Century Learning: Embedding New Skills and Assessments" to "Unleashing the Transformational Power of One-to-One Computing in K-12." Other sessions examined trends in education technology like the influence of MySpace.com and advancing teaching and learning through Internet2.
CoSN also honored leaders in education during an awards ceremony. Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., was among the winners. She received a nod for "Outstanding Achievement Award for Excellence in Public Service."
