Past Events and LinksVisionary Conference sponsored by Intel, April 26-27, 2007 Intel and the Center for Digital Education sponsor an annual conference to bring together educational innovators from around the country. I was pleased to present as a "visionary" with Julie Evans from NetDay and Leslie Wilson from Freedom to Learn. My presentation focuses on technology empowerment programs at the edge of the school, extending access and learning into the community. Julie Evans shared the results of her annual Speak Up survey on technology use in schools. This national survey of students and educators shows that the students are ready for changes now!
