EduCause StateNets Net@EDU Annual Meeting Presentation in Tempe, AZ

EdTech Glasnost: The Nuts, Bolts, and Politics of Open Technology in US K-12
Wednesday, February 7, from 9:15am to 10:00am
Presented by Michael Jay, President, Educational Systemics and Co-Director, CoSN Open Technologies Initiative

Mikhail Gorbachev introduced the concept of glasnost, meaning to be open or public, into Soviet Russia in 1985 which led to fundamental change in the governance and opportunities afforded the citizens of that state. Open Technologies hold the same promise for those who sometimes see themselves as living under the tyranny of technologies and associated structures that are imposed on them. In this talk we will explore how this openness extends beyond the idea of Open Source to address, Open Standards, Open Content, and Open Hardware. The opportunities this new openness affords are not without responsibility. We'll discuss key trends and your role in affecting change in our educational infrastructure makes open technologies a sustainable force for that change.

CoSN Releases Second Open Technologies in K-12 Implementation Study

The Consortium for School Networking (CoSN) will be conducting the second in a series of implementation studies concerning the Indiana Linux Desktop program as part of the ongoing K-12 Open Technologies Initiative. Educational Systemics personnel Shaun Taylor and Michael Jay, who co-chair the CoSN Open Technologies Initiative, will apply their technical and market expertise in the development of these two implementation studies in conjunction with initiative advisors.

The first implementation study concerns the adoption of enterprise Linux in Saugus Schools in California, and the second focuses on implementation in the Indiana inACCESS program. Both implementation studies provide technical details about selection, research, communication, training, support, benefits and problems associated with each solution. These studies are intended to provide guidance for school administrators who are considering or in the process of adopting open technologies in their schools or school districts. Future implementation studies will focus on open source learning management systems, open content and interoperability.
