What do you think are the hot issues in educational technology?

I received an email about the Campus Technology Conference on Education Technology (July 31–Aug. 3, 2006, Boston, MA) and these were the 10 "issues impacting your institution right now" that they list.

• Mobility
• Security
• The 'Smart' Classroom/Campus
• IT/Telecom Infrastructure and Support
• Technology Funding
• Enterprise Strategies
• Professional Development
• eLearning
• Open Source
• Digital Media/Publishing

Agree? What would you add?

Education Bridges is a new site designed to bring together educators and nonprofit, business and government leaders. It has a blog, podcasts, a wiki and plenty of discussion on interesting topics like "Adapt the technology, not the teaching."

They understand that with all the new tech available to educators, there is a real need to offer some "explaining, contextualizing, demystifying and understanding what they can do...and perhaps more importantly, what they will not do."

That's a good site mission.

Surfing through the site I immediately came across some good info on wikis - which are a lot harder to explain than blogs & podcasting. Here's a sample: Jude Higdon/USC on "The Pedagogies of Wikis."
