Guest Commentary: Aug. 14, 2012--Deadline for Change.

Therese Mageau is the editor of T.H.E. (Technology Horizons in Education ) Journal, an education technology news magazine for K-12 district leaders, IT personnel, and administrators, and she's frustrated.
"It seems to me that we are still having the same conversation we were having a quarter century ago ...We're still talking about the role of technology in changing education from a 19th century to a 21st century institution... Students still need digital literacy skills ... Teachers still do not use technology as an integral part of their instruction ... Teachers and students still don't have access to the right kinds of learning technologies," she wrote.
After 25 years of hearing the same complaints and the same problems, Mageau writes that she has set a deadline--Aug. 14, 2012 to be exact--for change.
