The New Digital Divide
Accountability, the ubiquitous nature of technology, internal and external demands for participation, and the changing nature of learning have redefined the difference between the “have” and “have-nots” in education. Going forward, the New Digital Divide will not be defined by what you do with the technology, not what you have.

Future Technology Trends

Where We Have Been and Where We Are Going Take a brief tour of educational technology history, and then explore some major trends that have the potential to drastically change the teaching and learning process. Some of it is a little scary, so there will be a bit of humor added to keep it on the light side.

Palm Beach County Schools and IBM Corporation invite you to take a closer look at The Palme Beach County Schools Workplace project moving forward in the District. The Workplace project is much more than a traditional Portal. Once mature, it will include enterprise single sign-on, content management for both web content and documents, consist of multiple roles integrated with Palm Beach County School District security policies and it will be the platform for the Palm Beach County School District to take advantage of service oriented architecture.

The Workplace project is planned in a phased implementation schedule to allow for progressive implementation gains and benefits to be recognized throughout the life of the development process. All phases are based on a best practices, standards based, development approach that seeks to create an SOA environment as we move through the deployment process.

As the project becomes fully implemented, the Palm Beach County School District Enterprise Workplace program initiative will support the business and technology goals of the School District through implementation of an single enterprise workplace framework, which is a technology and system enabler to increase efficiency while specifically improving communication, access to information, and business transactions for users. The current phases of deployment are just the first step in developing a role-based enterprise workplace for Palm Beach County School District.

Join us in learning what the upcoming phases will bring in capabilities and benefits to the schools. Also learn what decision factors came into play when making the technology, staffing and deployment decisions to support this endeavor.

Empowering The Next Generation Of Business And Learning Applications With An "Open Approach"

The next generation of learning solutions must provide a ubiquitous, parallel simulation of almost any scenario relevant to particular knowledge needs. Such a simulation will enable users to take time out from real life to replicate appropriate contexts that allow them to practice and learn in a risk free, but objective and goal-based environment. The dynamics of a true parallel, matrix-like learning environment would be predicated on an open, virtual marketplace/learning space that would allow gaming environments to be selected for a full spectrum of scenarios, from the most common to the most specialized. Thus, the individual or virtual community could select roles and parameters needed to simulate a true learning experience.
