Hi – wanted to make sure the SLED list had this
information (aimed at US participants, but may be of interest to others) on
November 5:
NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY PLAN (NETP)
Hold this date:
Thursday, November 5, 2009
6pm SLT
ISTE Island Events
Event support is coming from ISTE, Metanomics and the
University of Michigan.
The federal government of the United States of America has
assembled an 18 person team to update and revise the National Education
Technology Plan. Their report deadline is November 11, 2009. There will be a
community meeting in Second Life for educational technology stakeholders to
provide input into the planning process. Currently, we expect that a
representative of the national team will be present as an observer at the SL
event.
The event coordinator is Perplexity Peccable (RL: Patricia
F. Anderson, [hidden email]). Perplexity is the University of
Michigan Emerging Technologies Librarian for the Health Sciences, and the
community manager for Wolverine Island in SL. Contact Perplexity for more
information or to volunteer support or services for this event.
Information on prior versions of the plan is available here.

"If you had five minutes to talk with President Obama
about educational technology, what would you say?"
The key topic discussion points are these.
* Learning: Providing unprecedented access to
high-quality learning experiences.
* Assessment: Measuring what really matters and
providing the information that enables continuous improvement at all levels of
the education system.
* Teaching: New ways to support those who support
learning.
* Productivity: Redesigning systems and processes to
free up education system resources to support learning.
