5. Why an SIIA Vision K-20 As the association of companies who provide technology tools and content to education, the members of SIIA felt a responsibility to promote a “vision” of the best uses of technology for the purpose of helping educators and students K-20 achieve a 21 st century education.

6. SIIA Vision for K-20 Education By the end of the decade, we believe that every K-20 institution can—and should—have an instructional and institutional framework that embraces technology and e-learning in order to: Increase student engagement and achievement Provide equity and access to new learning opportunities Document and track student performance Empower collaborative learning communities Maximize teaching and administrative effectiveness Build student proficiencies in 21st Century skills

7. SIIA Vision K-20 Focus To ensure that all students have access to a teaching and learning environment capable of preparing them to compete globally and lead the world in innovation. –Seven Vision Goals (Means for Change) –Five Measures of Progress

8. SIIA Vision K-20 The SIIA Vision K-20 sets out seven Goals (Means for Change): Help schools meet the needs of all students Support accountability and inform instruction Deepen learning and motivate students Facilitate communication, connectivity and collaboration Manage the education enterprise effectively and economically Enable students to learn from any place at any time Nurture creativity and self-expression

9. SIIA Vision K-20 To achieve our Vision K-20 SIIA provides five benchmarks: Using 21st Century Tools for Teaching and Learning Providing Anytime/Anywhere Educational Access Using Technology to Close the Achievement Gap Using Technology-based Assessment Tools Enabling the Enterprise through Technology

18. The 2009 Results

21. Notable Highlights The 62% average score for the 20 benchmark questions represents a 1% increase over the average score reported in 2008. While this is a small increase, we have these considerations: –SIIA considers this no small feat in the current recessionary environment. –Change in K-20 institutions occur very gradually. –And with the help of a broader set of partners this year, we reached a slightly larger group of responders, so the 2009 survey may have reached beyond the education technology leaders in the institutions.

22. Notable Highlights The achievements (and year-to-year improvements) continue to be greatest in the adoption of high-speed broadband access. –This provides instructional leaders with more opportunity for implementing multi-media-rich interactions in the classroom. –It gives publishers the incentive to spur development of technology-rich curriculum materials that can be delivered over the Internet. The reported gains in the development and use of education institution’s websites/portals are also good news to SIIA. –A broader education community access to applications, resources and collaboration tools offer greater educational opportunities for 24/7 learning and increased communication with the broader education community. –It gives publishers a basis for transitioning their instructional materials from print or CD-based delivery to a web-based delivery.

23. Notable Highlights As in the 2008 Pilot Survey, postsecondary institutions lead the K-12 sector slightly their overall average measures of progress. –While not a significant difference, it was consistent within all demographic categories and within all goals and benchmarks. Both sectors have managed to implement security tools that help protect student data and privacy, an area of increasing importance to education institutions and to education technology providers.

24. 2008 vs 2009 Results

26. SIIA Analysis Gradual improvements are consistent with rates of change in education. Effects of recession and stimulus funds remain to be seen. (Watch for the 2010 survey). Significant improvement is needed in most measures to achieve Vision K-20 goals. SIIA needs to continue advocacy for increased investment, leadership and support.
