Congratulations to the four Schalmont
High School students who were were selected to
participate in a recent community forum on the
University of the State of New York Statewide
Educational Technology Plan.
Students Maithily
Chakraborty, Ian Cohn, Ben Fontana, and Kristina Strang
were invited to the forum as part of their participation
in teacher Karen Ryder's Syracuse University Project
Advance (SUPA) public affairs class.
"They learned that their
opinions matter," said Ryder "As players in the process,
they will help shape technology education for students
in the future."
At the forum, the students
joined a variety of stakeholders in sharing their
opinions about creating goals for education technology
and coming up with ways to achieve them. They also
learned about the lengthy process involved in making
changes to education statewide. Students listened to a
talk by James C. Dawson, a member of the NYS Board of
Regents, and had an opportunity to be photographed with
him (pictured above).
