22. Mike Muir Article - 12/03 (Conclusion of the National Association of School boards of education Study maine resident and education technology guru Seymour Papert worked closely http://www.edtechnot.com/notarticle1203.html

Home By Mike Muir (Conclusion of the National Association of School Boards of Education Study Group on e-Learning, NASBE, 2001) (Educational Research Service, 2001) (Schacter, 1995, p. 11) Throughout the summer or 2002, 1800 seventh grade teachers attended two day training sessions to become acquainted with their new laptops and in the Fall, schools began distributing laptops to 17,000 7th graders. Fall of 2003 saw students bringing their laptops to the 8th grade and a new round of 7th graders receiving laptops. As of now, Maine has more than 39,000 wireless laptops distributed to their 7th and 8th grade students and teachers in every one of our 239 middle schools. Further, researchers have found that students at the Exploration Sites seem to have improved in all areas on state tests and to have done significantly better in Math and Science than students in the other schools (so far, only the Exploration Site students have taken the 8th grade testing). Schools also report increases in attendance, decreases in referrals for discipline, and improved student engagement since the introduction of the laptops. Leadership began with the Design Team, a collection of classroom teachers, administrators, state Department of Education personnel, higher education faculty, and educational consultants charged with setting the direction of the project. Their first charge was to build a network of teachers in each building to act as points of contact for two-way communication between the state and each school. These Teacher Leaders from across each region met by region, together with their principals and tech coordinators, twice a year. Leadership development opportunities were made available and these school leaders where given strategies for building a vision for this work with their staff.

Computer conferencing is being added to the mix of technologies. Education Satellite Network, ESN Education SATLINK ESN was established by the Missouri School Boards Association in 1987 to ensure that all Missouri school districts, regardless of size or location, have equal access to instructional enrichment opportunities through high quality, satellite-delivered educational television programs. ESN received a grant from NTIA in 1987 which assisted schools with the installation of satellite receiving equipment. In 1988 and 1989, a Star Schools grant allowed significant expansion of ESN's programming and equipment. ESN serves as both a producer of educational programs and as a clearinghouse of program information. "Education SATLINK," a monthly satellite program guide, lists more than 40 networks and independent program providers each month (September through June). It is also available as SATLINK OnLine - a searchable database of programming. ESN develops programming to help education professionals meet specifically targeted needs in local schools. Through production of original teleconferences and programs for students, teachers, administrators and school board members, ESN provides schools with cost-effective opportunities to enhance the way students are taught. ESN also provides support services to schools in Missouri.

Some of it seems to be having an impact and some of it does not. Maine is in the beginning stages of investing several million dollars a year in technology for students across the state, and many educators and citizens are questioning if this is a wise investment. The Maine Commission for Middle Level Education (the Commission), charged with investigating, synthesizing, and then recommending a perspective of "best practices" for teaching young adolescents, strongly endorses and supports the Maine Learning Technology Endowment (MLTE), and it's plan to provide middle level schools with portable, wireless computers for use by all Maine seventh and eighth grade students and their teachers. Maine will be the first state to do this, but MLTE will also put Maine in the position to lead the nation in meeting the National Educational Technology Goals:

Home Issues in Education "No Child Left Behind"/ESEA Special Ed/IDEA ... Special Events Maine School Boards Association Maine School Superintendents Association Position Statement on the NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND ACT The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) has dramatically shifted federal education policy by assuming a far more expansive and intrusive federal role in the areas of standards, assessment, accountability, staffing, and budgetary allocations. This new direction in federal policy creates both opportunity and challenge. The Maine School Boards Association (MSBA) and the Maine School Superintendents Association (MSSA) welcome this national commitment to bring every child in this country to a meaningful level of proficiency in the key academic areas of language arts, mathematics and science. Since its enactment, however, significant concerns have arisen surrounding its implementation. Without revision, the act may have a number of unintended consequences, including: Compromising the ability of schools to address the unique educational needs of special education students and students with limited English proficiency; Penalizing successful schools that are making significant progress in raising student student achievement;

Maine Youth Risk Behavior Survey, 2001 Definition: Physical education provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to perform a variety of physical activities, to maintain physical fitness, and to value as well as enjoy physical activity as an ongoing part of a healthy lifestyle. Physical education includes curriculum, instruction and assessment, that is sequential from kindergarten through high school and meets the standards outlined in the Maine Learning Results . A comprehensive physical education program includes moderate to vigorous physical activity on a daily basis. In addition to a comprehensive physical education program, opportunities for students to be physically active are available for voluntary participation during the school day, as well as before and after school. A supportive environment contributing to a healthy, physically active lifestyle involves collaboration between school and community organizations, successful partnerships with families, and school staff modeling a healthy, physically active lifestyle.
