Looks like students and parents are all in agreement on this one. The voices have spoken and been heard in the Speak Up Report. What everyone wants... no... what everyone needs in education is the implementation of technology. The Speak Up Report was created to get the opinions of technology in education. There were three main areas which were covered in the Speak Up Report: Social-based learning, Un-tethered learning, Digitally-rich learning. These ideals fall in line with the ones set forth by such standards as the NETS (through ISTE) which emphasizes six key factors we need to meet: 1. Creativity and Innovation, 2. Communication and Collaboration, 3. Research and Information, 4. Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Decision Making, 5. Digital Citizenship, 6. Technology Operations and Concepts. So what is the most important piece of information we can gather from the Speak Up Report? It's that we want the same thing that are supposed to be working towards. The only question now is how do we all get there.
