EDUCATION?
CHANGE?
“Maybe I’m wrong, but I should say that in ten years textbooks as the principal medium of teaching will be obsolete…
…as obsolete as the horse and carriage are now.”
Diaries of Thomas Edison, 1925

U. S. Department of Commerce Reports:
The United States Department of Commerce ranked 55 industrial sectors by their level of Information Technology (IT).
Education came in at 55
The lowest of all including coal mining (U.S. Department of Commerce, 2002).
Global Perspective
We are preparing students for an
era that no longer exists and for a job
market that no longer offers the same positions
(Partnership for 21st Century Skills, 2006).
The Global Achievement Gap Basic Skills No Longer
Enough
Minimum jobs need to solve a range of intellectual and technical problems
21st century skills calls us to reason, analyze, weigh evidence, problem-solve – and to communicate effectively
They are survival skills for all of us
Woefully Ill-Prepared
“The future U.S. workforce is here – and it is woefully
ill-prepared for the demands of today’s (and tomorrow’s)
workplace”
(The Conference Board, Partnership for 21st century Skills, Corporate Voices for Working Families, HR Society for Human Resource Management, 2006, p. 9).
The New York Technology Policy and Planning Council Report of July 2007
Nearly a decade into the 21st Century, there are indications that American society – including businesses, industry, education, and communities -- have not kept pace with the rapid transformation into a knowledge-based society.
Building the technological capacity of the education system in the U.S. is critical to the global leadership of the state of New York and the nation.
The New York Technology Policy and Planning Council Report of July 2007
In international competition in mathematics and science, American
students are not competitive, with less than one-third of 4th and 8th grade students performing at or above a level of proficiency in
mathematics. National Center for Education Statistics. (2006).The Nation’s Report Card:
Mathematics (2005).
The New York Technology Policy and Planning Council Report of July 2007
In the U.S., 34% of doctoral degrees in natural
sciences, and 56% of engineering PhDs are
awarded to foreign-born students.
Approximately 1/3 of students in the U.S. do not graduate after 4 years of HS. In the nation’s most recent study of HS dropouts:
47% said that a major reason for dropping out was that classes were not interesting
70% said they were not motivated or inspired to work hard
81% said there should be more opportunities for real world learning.

What is Cyber Bullying?
Using communication technologies such as email, cell phones, chat rooms, instant messaging, blogs, or defamatory personal websites to send or post repeated, deliberate, cruel and harmful text or images
(Shek, 2004; Belsey, www.cyberbullying.ca)
Characteristics
Speed & Ease: Access available 24 hours/day, 7
days/week—victims can no longer find solace at home
Pictures/text sent instantly If kids simply “turn off” their
technology, they are socially isolated.
