IAETE OUR MISSION: TO SUPPORT THE PURPOSEFUL USE OF NEW ANDEMERGING TECHNOLOGIES TO IMPROVE TEACHING, LEARNING, AND SCHOOL MANAGEMENT On the cover: Rene Magritte's Le Maitre d'ecole (The School Headmaster) © 2002 C. Herscovici, Brussels / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York.All rights reserved. 4 Technology is empowering students to think and act creatively in ways that we 4111,111116are only beginning to understand. Recently I had the opportunity to talk with a 17- year -old entrepreneur about her Web site development business. She told me that she learned HTML when she was 10 years old, and that since then, it has become a "second language" to her. She has used this second language in recent years to earn a five- figure income annuallynot bad for a part-time high school job. This student impressed me when she said, "I can accomplish anything with Photo Shop." Her words reminded me that digital tools and media offer unprecedented opportunities for student 1 expression. i Nicholas Negroponte talked about the new "E-xpressionists" J in his 1995 book Being Digital He suggested that we are entering an era when expression can be much more participatory in nature, allowing the viewer or listener to transform the work of art to meet his or her personal needs or preferences. Digital manipulation is beginning to empower students to participate fully in the creative process, instead of just assuming the role of consumer. So how do "peer-to-peer" file sharing and other Napster- type issues affect this new era of creative possibility? It is difficult to know, but there are early instances that might inform our thinking. The work of Rene Magritte, whose painting Le Maitre decole is featured on the covers of this issue of IN *SIGHT, might be the perfect example. Magritte's art has been widely reproduced on everything from book covers to product packages, posters, and television advertisements. It is reported that Magritte was never angry about this blatant copyright infringement. In fact, he encouraged reproduction of his paintings in any form and viewed it as a surrealistic way to display his work. Only after his death in 1967 were copyright infringement penalties enforced. I believe Magritte would have greeted the idea of sharing his work over the Internet with great enthusiasm. We, too, are enthusiastic about sharing our work over the U Internet and invite you to visit www.iaete.org/insight to participate fully in the exchange of information inspired by IN *SIGHT. The articles presented here represent a starting point for what we hope will a be a rich and productive discussion about these topics. We fi believe vision and leadership must be viewed in tandem. Vision is important for illuminating possibilities while leadership helps us explore areas where more rigorous work is needed It is important to view these papers in this context and to remember they represent the authors' perspectives at a given point in time.

There are 20 to 30 students seated at individual desks, a teacher at a larger desk, blackboards or greenboards along most of the walls, a classroom library, an alphabet chart, and other traditional literacy elements. Posted around the room are classroom rules and student work. A computer (or two or three) might sit in the back of the room or in an isolated corner. In some classrooms, the computers are connected to the Internet. The computers are among the few artifacts added to the classroom during the past 50 years. Reading is taught with basal readers, written for the grade level of the students in the classroom. The social organization of the classroom comprises small groups of 6 to 10 students. Students read aloud in their groups and do independent work when they are not in groups. The independent work often employs conventional literacy materialspaper and pencil. Sometimes, students use the computer for independent tasks such as writing or some form of learning. In upper grades, the computers are used for research and often have a greater role in the curriculum.

I ran out of there with images in my head that told me stories I was not supposed to know at the age of ten. That summer like every other summer, I traveled to the Dominican Republic and visited Grandma Bella. I sat quietly next to Grandma in the white and pink stripe rocking chair made of thick rubber.

    Chapter Eight “A Strong but Judicious Enemy to Slavery”: Congressman Lincoln (1847-1849) Lincoln’s entire public service on the national level before his election as president was a single term in the U. S. House. Though he had little chance to distinguish himself there, his experience proved a useful education in dealing with Congress and patronage. WASHINGTON, D.C. Arriving in Washington on December 2, 1847, the Lincolns found themselves in a “dark, narrow, unsightly” train depot, a building “literally buried in and surrounded with mud and filth of the most offensive kind.”1 A British traveler said he could scarcely imagine a “more miserable station.”2 Emerging from this “mere shed, of slight construction, designed for temporary use” which was considered “a disgrace” to the railroad company as well as “the city that tolerates it,”3 they beheld an “an ill-contrived, 1 Saturday Evening News (Washington), 14 August 1847. 2 Alexander MacKay, The Western World, or, Travels in the United States in 1846-47 (3 vols.; London: Richard Bentley, 1850), 1:162. 3 Letter by “Mercer,” n.d., Washington National Intelligencer, 16 November 1846. The author of this letter thought that the station was “in every respect bad: it is cramped in space, unsightly in appearance, inconvenient in its position, and ill adapted to minister to the comfort of travellers in the entire character of its arrangements.” Cf.

Amidst humble origins in a two-story house outside of which Berry Gordy hung the sign, “Hitsville USA,” Motown encouraged America’s youth, urging them to look beyond racial divides and to simply sing and dance together in a time where the theme of unity was becoming increasingly important. Producing legends such as Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder, The Temptations, The Four Tops, Martha Reeves, Gladys Knight, and the Jackson Five, Motown truly created a new sound for the youth of America and helped shape the 1960s. Competing with the “British Invasion” and “the Protest Movement,” in 1960s music, Motown is often said to have had little or no impact on the political and social revolution of the time because Motown did not produce “message 4 music.” The 2006 film, Dreamgirls even depicts Gordy and Motown as hypocrites and race traitors.
