A short survey has been posted for student input on the development of a New York State Educational Technology Plan. The Student Technology Survey 2.0 is for students at all levels and stages of learning. What kinds of technology do you use both in and out of school? What kinds of technology do you want to use, and how? This survey is an updated version of a student technology survey released by the State Education Department in June 2009.

The deadline for completing the survey is September 30, 2009.

Who said we had to share tools here in What's the New What?  Sometimes concepts work better.  Catch the following TED video by Seth Godin, one of our great modern thinkers.  Consider your "tribes" and reply with your thoughts about how we join, negogiate, participate and support "tribes" for learning.
