21st-Century Learning: The New Visionary Administrator Speaks Up!

Project Tomorrow is a non-profit, national organization whose mission is to better prepare today's students to become tomorrow's leaders. They propose that much of their mission can be accomplished via instructional technology. There is a wealth of information on their website: http://www.tomorrow.org/. Project Tomorrow facilitates many projects, one of which is called Speak Up; an annual national research project which collects and disaggregates data on educational issues and later presents this information to a variety of rather important parties. The website for Project Tomorrow contains useful information for students, teachers, parents, administrators, and virtually anyone interested in improving education for students and better utilizing and integrating technology in schools.

There are numerous workshops available and there seems to be one that is quite pertinent to educational administrators: "21st-Century Learning: The New Visionary Administrator Speaks Up!" While it seems that this workshop has passed ( it was yesterday), the good news is that this is going to be held annually and the video of the panel discussion will be posted on the website. I am including the direct link to the information about the conference, as it provides the purpose and objectives, an outline, supporting research, and presenter background: http://center.uoregon.edu/ISTE/NECC2009/program/search_results_details.php?sessionid=43713824&selection_id=44258330&rownumber=1&max=1&gopage.
