This seminar focuses on how recent policy decisions regarding school funds, technology, assessments, and measures of school quality are impacting schools. Key questions discussed will include: What has the impact of moving to computer-based standardized assessments been, and what do we need to implement to ensure equity among students with different levels of technology experience? With many new uses of technology being experimented with in public education (blended learning, online charter schools, nano degrees for educators), what do we know about outcomes and what is still needed in terms of research and professional development?
