DJ submitted this request to alert people about our collaboration with Maris Stella High School. This use of network tools illustrates students' developing understanding of networking to achieve goals.
High School Students Reach Across Globe Through TechnologyReader Submissions: Why My Cause Should Be the Cause of the Week
From Douglas Smith,
- DJ found a way to use network tools to alert people outside of his established social networks to our need for support. This kind of insight and initative are evidence of some of the leadership characteristics that we are trying to develop through this work.
Our mission has been to communicate and collaborate with students from Singapore about real world issues of information, communication and technology skills faced in schools today.
- The Challenge based learning project also seeks to take action that will improve the learning for students and teachers.
How I Got Involved With My Cause:
I've always had a passion for technology and when a few friends and I got involved in the school's 1-1 laptop program, we were able to come up with solutions to problems that the school faced.
- The phrasing of this part of the request for attention encourages the kind of personalization that DJ has given. I like his reference to "passion for technology" and "solutions to problems that the school faced."

Gee and Schaffer cite this source as an example of using games for assessment in powerful ways.
Apolyton University is a school of strategy, where students sharpen their Civ3 skills and share their experiences in a series of thematic games. When playing an Apolyton University game, gaining and sharing knowledge is more important than getting a high score, a fast finish, or even winning the game. Participants are encouraged to share their strategy after the game, and even to try several attempts.

How are they marketing this stuff?
I witnessed history today. Several Van Meter students presented to members of the Iowa legislature. They were poised, confident, capable, and young–some of them very young. I sat there thinking that one day we may be able to point back to January 28, 2010, and say it was the turning point—the day a couple seventh graders and a fifth grader swayed the Iowa legislature and forever changed education as we know it.

The MSAD75 School Board accepted Maine Dept. of Ed. offer to expand the MLTI program from grades 7-8 to 7-12. Adding over 900 daily users to the existing network strained capacity. Mt Ararat HS student leaders attending the annual MYAN Peer Leadership Conf. decided that they wanted to help solve this authentic issue.
At the MYAN Peer Leadership Conference we made an action plan that would improve the school use of laptops. We plan on doing a research project: investigating common mis-used programs and web sites.
- MYAN's message of empowering student leaders helped them create a plan, and present it to a review panel.

The nation's first-ever statewide 1-to-1 laptop program marks its seventh birthday by expanding into high schools, providing an occasion to celebrate-- and to examine the components of its success.
In turn, Mao acknowledges that the state was slow to recognize
the critical role of local leadership. "It's so important," he
says. "We should have spent more time on it in the beginning.
We learned quickly, though, that the leadership has to be there."
Still on Hogan's to-do list is a comprehensive system for educating
parents about the technology their children are mastering.
"This still needs to be addressed, and I think we can do it
through our professional development resources," she says. "As
we use this 1-to-1 program to move our students into the 21st
century, we have to make sure their parents come with them."

PORTLAND, Maine — Despite the nation’s economic turmoil, Maine is expanding its program to provide laptop computers to 0students.

The goal is to provide a laptop to every public school student in grades seven through 12 by the fall, adding 53,000 high schoolers to the program, said Education Commissioner Susan Gendron.
About 30 high schools also have laptops that they obtained outside the scope of the original program. Now, all 120 of Maine’s high schools, along with 241 middle schools, will have new laptops under the same program at a cost of about $242 per computer per year, Gendron said.
- Schools that have already invested heavily in other systems may choose not to participate especially on such short notice.
