  like an iTunes for classroom content

  Allow educational publishing companies of all sizes to make their materials available for download, whether fee-based or free.

  new classes for your program!

  My company offers programming and basic technology classes like 'How the Internet Works' and 'Learn to Program in Ruby.' I was wondering if your program has a technology department, and if so, would you be interested in possibly using our classes? We offer scholarships already for every class, and have affiliate referral programs in place; if cost is a problem for students we are very flexible. Our goal is to educate ...more »

  My company offers programming and basic technology classes like 'How the Internet Works' and 'Learn to Program in Ruby.' I was wondering if your program has a technology department, and if so, would you be interested in possibly using our classes? We offer scholarships already for every class, and have affiliate referral programs in place; if cost is a problem for students we are very flexible.

  Our goal is to educate the general public about the history, present standing and predicted future of technology, because we feel that every person in the workforce today can benefit from this sort of knowledge and training.

  Please let me know if you're interested!

  Special need students need special funding

  As a parent of a student with special needs I am horrified that IT funding is eliminated for education. This move has only encourage me more in pursuing funding options in our community to address technology assistance for our special needs youth. We have formed a non-profit, the Rushman-Micah Angel Foundation to address this issue head on.Technology has the potential to maximize learning for all students but it is especially needed by our special needs population. When it comes to learning for this special population, they have always been the last to recieve funding and the first to have it taken away.

  Technology/data learning tools aid in leveling the playing field for these future generation to ahieve 21st century learning. It will provide students the ability to be more engaged in learning, it empowers and impact students and their families.

  How dare politicians use our children and their families as political pawns...please be reminded we are the voting poor. Our communities will not sit quietly by and allow our children to be instituitionalized, placed in a corner of a classroom or not be educated at all.

  We need technology funding for all our children, but especially for the special needs and

  at-risk students. Eliminate waste but not at the expense of education, our country already lags behind others in technology and science. Reconsider the priorities...

  Emphasize Climate Literacy and Energy Awareness (CLEAN)

  Research shows that most adults in the US get a failing grade when it comes to basic climate and energy literacy. The CLEAN project (http://cleanet.org ) is one of many emerging efforts to help address confusion, misconceptions and cognitive gaps around climate science and energy topics. A national campaign to mainstream climate and energy literacy and address holes, using the Six Americas research on climate knowledge ...more »

  Research shows that most adults in the US get a failing grade when it comes to basic climate and energy literacy. The CLEAN project (http://cleanet.org ) is one of many emerging efforts to help address confusion, misconceptions and cognitive gaps around climate science and energy topics. A national campaign to mainstream climate and energy literacy and address holes, using the Six Americas research on climate knowledge from Yale and George Mason Universities and the energy literacy research from Clarkson University will help prepare the nation for climate change and energy challenges that are well underway.

  NEON - Nat. Ecological Observatory Network

  An interesting project that could provide input as learning resources is NEON - http://www.neoninc.org. The National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) is prototyping an architecture that will collect data across the United States on the impacts of climate change, land use change and invasive species on natural resources and biodiversity. NEON is a project of the U.S. National Science Foundation, with many other U.S. ...more »

NEON is a project of the U.S. National Science Foundation, with many other U.S. agencies and NGOs cooperating.

  NEON has a mission of sharing science: "The NEON platform provides extraordinary opportunities for education. The platform will support a wide range of interactions ..."

  The primary contact in the DC area is Brian Wee, Cheif of External Affairs bwee@neoninc.org.

  bluebrick.ie

  I suggest taking a look at http://www.bluebrick.ie and http://www.ideas.ie. Buebrick is the functional site for the discovery and access of college courses to fulfill learning and skills gaps supporting training, retraining, reskilling and continuing education. This also uses "Amazon type" technology for learner/course matches. It is the brainchild of Eamonn Murphy of the Enterprise Research Centre at the University of ...more »

  Newburgh Learning Center

  A program I use here is geared toward making a bond through hs kids and elementary kids. We have established a homework club where students come to work on their HW. High School kids check it and help them if needed. It had become a community of learning that has been very effective in the community.

  LODE

  I took a pretty deep look at LODE (an IMS working group) recently. It has a lot of features that we are going to need. I think it's potentially a huge step forward in the concept of registries for learning. I also saw it as maybe missing a few pieces, such as non-centralized augmented metadata: the ability for anyone to post defining/categorical information about anyone else's resources. So if NASA publishes a photo ...more »

  I took a pretty deep look at LODE (an IMS working group) recently. It has a lot of features that we are going to need. I think it's potentially a huge step forward in the concept of registries for learning.

  I also saw it as maybe missing a few pieces, such as non-centralized augmented metadata: the ability for anyone to post defining/categorical information about anyone else's resources. So if NASA publishes a photo about something, we don't want users to have to ask NASA's permission to categorize that photo or align it with other educational resources. The network should let them do that on their own (and let others find those categorizations right alongside of the original resource).
