Just a friendly reminder about
tonight's "I Am Listening" which comes on at 10:30 p.m. every Thursday
evening and 8:00 a.m. every Saturday morning on MediaCom Channel 15 in Des
Moines.
Today's show concentrates on
addressing the social promotion crisis in our district by moving to skill
based progression and authentic ways of looking at what our students are
learning and what they are able to do with that knowledge.
The show also addresses the need
to provide each student in our district with a laptop and internet access
and the cost of doing that.
My guest today on the show is
Mr. David Payer from OMNI (Online Media Network of Iowa). More more than a
decade he's provided internet services of various types to this community
and shares some very good insights into what's being done both at home and
abroad including our discussion about the One Laptop Per Child Initiative
sweeping parts of the third world and impoverished nations. You can find out
more information about this at:
