• W747894229 abstract "As a futurist, I have a hard time predicting the future, because that implies that there is only one future, and that we have no impact on what may take place in the days and years ahead. While trends are under way and decisions have already been made that will determine, to some degree, what may happen in time, the actions we take today will go a long way toward creating the future. Now that we know the results of the election, I have asked Douglas Levin, executive director of the State Educational Technology Directors Association, to respond to a few leading questions about what educators can expect from the federal government in the next couple of years when it comes to supporting educational technology. Fletcher: What do you think is the impact of the presidential election results on the field of educational technology? Levin: As much as I'd like to say that the outcome of the presidential election signals a dramatic shift toward or endorsement of educational technology, the real answer is a bit more complicated for two reasons. First, I don't see partisanship as a determining factor in whether policymakers support educational technology funding or programs per se. Rather, the differences have to do more with perceptions about how technology helps or hinders other reforms that policy-makers are keen on advancing. Now don't get me wrong, the parties do have different views regarding the federal role in education. A second term for the Obama administration should result in vigorous arguments for more federal education funding and a more activist federal role in education than the alternative would have brought us. Nonetheless, recall the praise from Gov. Romney for Education Secretary Arne Duncan on the campaign trail. I think the policy shifts that a Romney administration would have brought to DC; would have been smaller in practice than many following the campaigns might have come away expecting. And, ultimately, Congress is the body that has to pass the federal education budget. The president has a major role, but does not in any way dictate the outcome. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Fletcher: I'm a little surprised to hear you say that. Isn't an Obama and Democratic Party victory good news for educational technology advocates? Levin: It is good news in that we are likely to see a larger federal education budget overall than we'd likely have gotten under a Romney administration. One hopes that within a larger budget, there'd be more room for investment in educational technology programs. On the other hand, some of the most vigorous advocacy for educational technology in the last couple of years--at least at the state level--has come from the other side of the aisle. Republicans in Idaho unsuccessfully tried to launch a statewide 1-to-1 program, for example, and [former Florida] Gov. Jeb Bush has been a leading advocate for digital learning through his foundation and Digital Learning Now! Much of the difference between the parties has to do with how they'd implement technology in schools, but, in my view, we can't even have that debate until there is a universal expectation that technology is integral to the day-to-day experience of students in schools nationwide. Maybe I've been working inside the Beltway too long, but I don't see educational technology as a partisan issue. It is too important for our children's future to be perceived as only a pet issue for one side or the other. Fletcher: You said there were two reasons that it's hard to predict the impact of the election on the field of educational technology. What's the second reason? Lavin: The second reason I think it is hard to predict the impact on the field of educational technology of a second term for President Obama is that his first term was marked--from my perspective--with pretty mixed messages. During his 2008 campaign for the presidency and during the transition time immediately following his election, support for educational technology programs and funding was a priority. …" @default.
