		<description><![CDATA[Today’s problem is not the digital divide, it&#8217;s digital deprivation.  It’s difficult to find a student today who does not have access to the Internet, own a smartphone, communicate with friends all over the world and collaborate online with others to plan events—except, of course, when they enter the schoolhouse walls.  Instead of embracing and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What&#8217;s driving educators&#8217; enthusiasm for digital learning?  The latest Project Tomorrow Speak Up Survey suggests three factors: &#160; &#160; Teachers and administrators are using technology to improve their own productivity.  They use mobile devices, online classes and digital content; and this causes them to think creatively about using these same tools in the classroom.

		<description><![CDATA[Results from the latest Project Tomorrow Speak Up Survey suggest today’s  students are looking at a different paradigm in their learning experiences. Students today are inseparable from their mobile technologies; instant messaging and texting is a way of life.  And they want to use their technology at school.
