Which of the following best describes your sense of what is happening in your school/district/state:

• Jul, 2008 Are cell phones banned in your district? Should they be? Let us know what you think about students using cell phones in the classroom:
• Jun, 2008 Do new ultra-light, low-cost education devices such as the Intel-powered classmate PC increase the likelihood that your district will move more fully in the direction of one-to-one?
• May, 2008 How do you feel about the concept of a year-round school calendar?
• Apr, 2008 In order to preserve instructional technology funding would you be willing to postpone (or even consider canceling) the adoption of new textbooks for your school or district? Please VOTE and use the comment field to explain your stance.
• Mar, 2008 How important do you think it is for elected officials involved in setting education policy to send their own children to public school and/or have attended public schools themselves?
