Teleconference "Whatever Happened to Technology?"


ETS and the Distance Learning Committee invite you to join Ready2Net in a teleconference as it examines
the current policy situation live from the nation's capital!

What has happened to the public conversation about the technology and
education?

Are we making progress on the ambitious national goals outlined by the
Congressionally-chartered Web-Based Education Commission just two years
ago? Or, have efforts stalled and interest fallen as the federal
government, the states, and the education community focus on other policy
initiatives while also struggling with well-publicized budget problems?

Join us for a conversation with Host Casey Green and leaders in government, the education
community, and the technology industry about the current state and future
directions of education and technology policy and initiatives. Featuring

· John Bailey, Director Educational Technology, US Department of Education

· David Byer, Senior Manager, Education Strategic Relations, Apple Computer Corp & Former Executive Director, the Web-Based Education Commission

· Michael Goldstein, Esquire, Dow, Lohnes, Albertson

· Frank Newman, Director, The Futures Project, Brown University

· Diane Oblinger, Director, Higher Education, Microsoft Corporation
