"...If the focus of an educational system is student learning, as most mission statements claim, then leaders must compare the reality of their employment of technology with their stated intention."
"We believe that everyone should have the same opportunity to learn. The best way to make this possible, we believe, is to organize into one, super directory the hundreds of thousands of good videos currently available on the Internet. To
make this a reality, we invite teachers, instructors and educators to suggest
videos for inclusion into our directory, and then to review, approve, and assign
those videos into appropriate categories using a wiki framework and philosophy.
The videos are the highest quality found on the World Wide Web, cover all major
educational topics from elementary to secondary schools (or age range 1 - 18),
and are Kid Safe!"
"CoSN's Participatory Learning in Schools: Policy & Leadership initiative (formerly known as Web 2.0 in Schools) is based on the recognition that Web 2.0 tools provide powerful learning resources for our children and thus prepare them for the world beyond the classroom. The purpose of this initiative, which is sponsored by The Digital Media and Learning Initiative from The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation is to assist schools to adapt to this new reality. "
