As you may know, state educational technology directors are meeting next month in Washington to learn about all the new things happening with Title IID and the Enhancing Education Through Technology (EETT) program. In preparation for the meeting, the US DOE is asking states and districts to provide feedback on the current and potential data collection points to help ensure the quality of data collection in educational technology.
A survey has been created to collect feedback. The survey is divided into four short sections that align with the goals of the EETT program with possible data elements and data collection methods for each of the goals. I urge you to complete this brief survey so that the US DOE is provided with sufficient information on possible data elements and data collection methods. The deadline for state and district submission is April 30, 3009. (Consider doing it now while you are thinking about it! It will take you less than 5 minutes.)

John Kalinowski
Our dear friend and tech-colleague, John Kalinowski, lost his battle with cancer on Monday, 3/30/09. John's good work was known around the state and he will be greatly missed by all he touched. Our world is diminished by this loss.
If anyone is interested in making a donation in remembrance of John, the family would like donations in John's honor sent to the Middlesex Hospital Cancer Center, 536 Saybrook Road, Middletown, CT 06457.

So Long Art!
On March 30th, Art Skerker traded in his blue SDE security badge for a flannel shirt and boots, and headed to his new home in Woodstock Vermont! I can't imagine what this blog (or SDE) will be like without Art!
I have taken over Art's educational technology responsibilities at SDE, including this blog, and will do my best to keep the ed tech ship afloat. Art's shoes are tough to fill - but hopefully, we'll do some wonderful things in the months and years to come that continue the great work he has begun here in Connecticut.
I am grateful for all Art has done for me, and will miss his leadership, humor, and friendship. I know that all you blog-groupies join me in wishing him well in his new life in Vermont. (You may contact Art @ askerker@gmail.com.)
