Time To View:“Engaged, Empowered and Enabled . . . The New K-12 Student
Vision for Learning”
An October 2010, 35 minute excerpt - broadcast from Educause. Julie Evans from Project Tomorrow 2010 discusses the findings from the 2009 speak-up survey of students, parents, administrators and teachers. This will be seen in a lecture capture format. How well are today’s K-12 schools meeting technical expectations of students and what does this mean for higher education institutions? What do students want to use in the learning process? Meet the new “Free Agent” learner in our middle schools. Mobile devices, connectivity and online learning are all discussed. www.tomorrow.org
