- In planning for technology we filtering ideas through
personal mind set. Expodential growth of technology a problem
but not the Issue. Headgear lags behind hardware. Technology
forces change in the way we do things. - eg: Moores Law Power 2x and price-30% in 18 mo.
- In the first 10,000 years almost no change, in the last 50
years explosive change and it’s not over yet. We can not
be using old mind sets on new technology. Or view new
technology as an extension of old technology. - What does the future hold.
-Growth will continue by 2010- a PC will have 1TB HD 8 GHz
processor 32GB RAM and cost $14 - Web trends

- EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) system for K-12 Piloted
in washington state (among others). - Intelligent Server that could take specific record file and
Convert it standard form for dilivery to other school. - Washington state EDI Pilot “Charlotte” servers. Exchanges
between all school systems (macschool, sasi, etc) and Colleges
(Peoplesoft Student info system). - This uses a international standard ANSI x.12 EDI standard.
The final result will also support XML. - Servers use Netscape EC expert.

- Creating a District Internet Proxy Cache and Filtering system
– Dave ScottHandout at http://www.upsd.wednet.edu/upsd/dist/programs/TechSupport/TechFAQ.html
- Two proxies Safe Proxy for K-7 that only allows access to a
specific list of sites. No password or logon required. - Filtering Proxy for 8-12 and staff using a filter list
. - The users can surf the intranet without using proxy. Once
they hit the internet they are requried to athenticate. - LDAP server Provides link between IP address and user name.
Log recorded by user name. - Surfwatch of allowable sites for k-7.
- 8-12 Netscape proxy + Cyber patrol.
- LDAP Server reacts with Proxy for Name to Slte log.
- Future plans for proxy and DNS. A local level would be
better than current district DNS. - Local proxies would also improve performance.

- Intro: Educaitonal Theory Vigotski-“all learning in
social”. Storytelling is a fundemental social interaction. - Schools could be the last vestiage of Coming Together.
- What if one of the unitended consequences of technology is
to reduce conversation? - To avoid the shock of rapid change to educaiton we need to
know “How to do it Gently?” - Computer Literacy Is not literacy. The word ‘literacy’
implies a fundemental urgency that is not necessarily
true. - The word ‘interactivity’ is only function of education. It
doesn’t get used in other places. Interaction = ” l don’t want
a relationship with my WP.” - Interaction is intended to let students learn rather than
having them taught. By letting students Choose their own path
They might just end up running amuck. Interaction seems to
involve clicking as fast as possible through a set of links
with little or no commitment to the information that is being
presented. - The best Interactive software is about 1/100 as good as the
worst relationship you can have with a cat! - Reference to the “The great geography Scare” – every 7
years the Geography curriculum gets redone to solve the problem
of students not finding their own state on a map. - Results: The answer to bad teaching and schools is not
technology; it is better teachers and better schools.
