Apple Distinguished Educator, Barnaby Wasson, interviewed CoSN Chair, Sheryl Abshire, while at NECC last week. Some time during the night, the podcast recording was posted as part of the NECC ADE Podcast. I highly recommend you listen to this important educator. The podcast web site is at:

In closing the interview, Wasson asked Dr. Abshire to list what she thought were the three priorities for educators, in terms of how the federal government impacts on teaching and learning in the 21st century.
Three Priorities:
- Funding (we’re not done)
- Helping School districts to partner curriculum & technology
- Public Acceptance that schools must be different
