Educational Technologies in a Challenging Economy

On January 21st, as part of our fifth annual Passport to Technology event, we held a national teleconference on the economic impact of technology in education. I moderated the multipoint teleconference which included a distinguished panel of Frye Fellows from 2005: Dr. Sharon E. Blanton, CIO Office of Information Technologies Portland State University; Gardner Campbell, Ph.D., Director of the Academy for Teaching and Learning at Baylor University and Assoc.
