            <title>Tech Groups Launch &apos;One Giant Leap&apos; Campaign</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>A handful of education and education technology associations launched a print and radio public service announcement campaign on Wednesday themed "One Giant Leap for Kids" that asks the presidential candidates to make K-12 student access to ed-tech and modern learning environments a top national priority. The PSAs will be sent to campaigns of of Sens. <strong>John McCain</strong>, R-Ariz., and <strong>Barack Obama</strong>, D-Ill., along with five questions about each candidate's vision for the future of the modern classroom.</p>

<p>The PSAs will also be placed in a number of education and education technology trade publications. The campaign, which includes an online petition in support of making 21st century education a public policy priority, was developed by the Consortium for School Networking, the International Society for Technology in Education, the National Education Association and the State Educational Technology Directors Association.</p>

<p>"The future competitiveness of the United States is inextricably linked to the investments we make today to improve education, enhance learning and provide our students with the skills and knowledge that will afford them the opportunity to succeed among the best and brightest competitors in the world," CoSN's <strong>Keith Krueger</strong> said. "The presidential candidates have an opportunity to develop solid education platforms focused on achieving this goal."
