The Roundtables
Each roundtable will have a one page overview document prepared by the Center for Digital Education about the table’s discussion points. A note taker will be present at each table to capture the conversation. The roundtables are:
Data Driven Digital Content
This table will explore data-driven decision making as it relates to digital content models. Do today’s teachers, awash with data, instructional options and range of educational readiness of students, need help with interpretation of data and planning for student specific instructions so they can spend more time teaching and less time planning? The table will also discuss the intersections of digital content with assessment and engagement.
Discussion Leaders:
Travis Hamilton, Director, Data Driven Engagement, McGraw-Hill Education
Chris Rousseau, Vice President, Publishing Systems, McGraw-Hill Education
Learning Platforms: How to Deliver Digital Content
Educators worldwide know that learning has everything to do with access, personalization and interactivity. What should be considered when thinking about the delivery platform for digital content delivery? The table will discuss the latest, the greatest, and the most effective digital content delivery devices.
Discussion Leaders:
Dr. Jeanine Gendron, Director, Department of Instructional Technology, Broward County Public Schools
Angela Coluzzi, Director, Network Integration, Broward County Public Schools
Mark S. Hudson, Education Senior Consultant, Dell
Funding Facts and Fallacies
Even though digital content does not always mean free, there are tremendous resources available ranging in cost from free to modified fee structures. The table discussion will cover answers to these key questions: What is the hype around Open Education Learning Resources? What is the cost of free? How can you think about new ways to reinvent your budget while you revolutionize your learning delivery models?
Dr. Kate Kemker, Director, Technology & Learning Innovation, Florida Department of Education
Digital Content Driving your Online Learning Programs
It has been argued that some of the greatest short term traction we can make in school transformation is through online learning. The foundation has been set and the results have proven that students can succeed with online learning, whether through stand alone courses or through the combined power of a virtual school. The table will discuss the relationships between online learning courses, digital content and virtual schools alongside a discussion about credit recovery, remediation and other opportunities for student achievement through online learning.
Discussion Leaders:
Dr. Janet Aikele, Sr. Director Sales Support, K12
Steve Allison, Director, School Development, K12
Digital Rights Management: The Pros Chime In
What are the lines between original content and profit? How can states and districts manage digital content while being in compliance with the law? What are interoperability concerns and strategies? These are some of the questions that will be addressed at this table discussion.
Discussion Leader:
Jill Abbott, Associate Executive Director/COO, Schools Interoperability Framework Association
