Events online: Economist Online Debate.

Economist Online Debate. Proposed: The house believes that the continuing introduction of new technologies and new media adds little to the quality of most education. Online Debate Oct 15-23, 2007. ...observe and participate in the Economist’s inaugural debate in an online series designed to “elevate the dialog on pressing issues facing the world today.” … Sir John Daniel, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Commonwealth of Learning, will argue for the proposition above. Bob Kozma, Emeritus Director and Principal Scientist at the Center for Technology in Learning at SRI International, will argue against it. …there will be plenty of opportunity for reactions from the floor. ...contribute your best thoughts. (GW note: Over the past few years, I have included a number of reports and comments by Bob Kozma in this blog. Kozma is knowledgeable about ICT in education globally and speaks and writes eloquently to its issues. This should be an interesting debate.)
