This post comes from eSchoolNews. The U.S. Department of Education is asking school stakeholders to comment on the use of technology in schools.

The U.S. Department of Education (ED) is asking school officials and education stakeholders to submit comments on the use of technology in schools. This latest outreach initiative comes as U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings is holding a series of roundtable discussions in several cities on technology in education, with educators, business leaders, information technology professionals, and others invited. (The sessions are closed to members of the press.) The goal, according to ED, is to explore specific actions to improve education outcomes through targeted applications of technology and to find a renewed perspective on the role of technology in education reform. The first of these roundtables took place in late March. Click here to read the rest of this article.
