| 9:10 - 10:20 am | Kids Privacy on the Mobile Net: Is it PII or TMI? In today's mobile and digital world, children and youth can share information in ways that may make adults uncomfortable. Is the mobile Net - including new Location Based Services - eliminating the concept of privacy, or enabling different generational notions of privacy? How should industry leaders and policymakers respond to ways that mobile technology is changing the nature of public and private? - Amanda Lenhart, Pew Internet & American Life Project - Rich Ling, IT University, Copenhagen - Phyllis Marcus, Federal Trade Commission - Alan Simpson, Common Sense Media (moderator) - Berin Szoka, Progress & Freedom Foundation |
| 10:30 - 11:45 am | Will Mobile Technology Transform Learning, or Destroy It? Some educators and analysts view mobile technology as an important new tool for learning, while others see it as just another distraction - or worse. Will laptops, notepads and mobile devices open up the classroom, or make it harder for teachers to teach? How do educators, industry leaders and policymakers maximize the potential educational benefits of mobile? - Karen Cator, U.S. Department of Education - Liz Keren-Kolb, author, "Toys to Tools: Connecting Student Cell Phones to Education" - Dr. Kipp Rogers, Principal, Passage Middle School in Newport News - Jean Weller, Office of Educational Technology, Virginia Department of Education - Kevin Bushweller, Executive Editor, Digital Directors - an Education Week Publication (moderator) |
