The United States Education secretary stated that students have increased access to information technology, but would like to see greater pedagogical use of it. Rod Paige remarked that

"Education is the only business still debating the usefulness of technology... Schools remain unchanged for the most part despite numerous reforms and increased investments in computers."

Nine in 10 children between age 5 and 17 use computers, and even higher numbers of online teenagers use the Internet for school-related work, according to the report sent to Congress. The largest group of new users of the Internet from 2000 to 2002 were kids age 2 to 5.

Page's comments came during the same period as the launch of a National Education Technology Plan .

"I'm personally very impressed with the Education and Distance Learning Resources 2004 Internet MiniGuide since I finished 3 years of distance learning without any guide or guidance. The guide that Marcus has produced would have made my learning experience so much faster and less frustrating. As an ambassador to my University, I will recommend this guide to the Education and Distance Learning Deans, for their students to use as a resource. Amazing information!"

CBS Memo-gate takes another fascinating turn this morning with a Dallas Morning News interview with the 86-year-old former secretary of Jerry Killian, George W. Bush's former commanding officer in the Texas Air National Guard. The former secretary believes the documents attributed to her boss on 60 Minutes last week are forgeries -- yet she vouches for the viewpoints expressed in them and says they reflect documents that would have been in Killian's personal file. "I remember very vividly when Bush was there and all the yak-yak that was going on about it," Marian Carr Knox told the News.

Doc has a good bit (on his IT Garage) on Digital Identity - preparing for the upcoming DIDW (Digital Identity World) conference in Denver (where I'm speaking - as well.)

One thing Doc doesn't mention - which I blame myself for - is that FOAF is an important standard that can help promulgate the kind of infrastructure Doc is calling for.

In fact at last year's conference - when Jamie Lewis called for an open standard - I pointed out to him that FOAF was perfect for that.

So here we are a year later and the FOAFnet is about to launch - and it's time for yet another DIDW.

Here's Doc's post on his IT Garage.....

Two things came up simultaneously today.

First, Kaliya Hamlin called, and reminded me that I'm giving the closing keynote at Digital ID World next month, where I'm on at least one panel (here's the schedule). Also that I need to revisit the principles that I've been espousing at the last two DIDWs, which, she reports, are actually getting some traction.

Second, Andre Durand, who got me going on this whole Identity Thing several years ago (shortly thereafter I began serving on the advisory board of his new company, Ping Identity Corp.), put up a fresh post on his blog: Federated Identity & PKI Collide.

So I began thinking that Digital Identity needs to be a DIY-IT project (DIYDID, let's call it) at least to some degree. It needs independent IT professionals and other interested parties pushing the whole thing upward from the grass roots; and not just vendors, and associations of vendors, pushing them from the top down. That was one of Andre's points in the first place, and I think it's still valid today.

Digital Identity needs to be a fundamental internet service. If we don't push for something that's universal, and empowers markets from the customer side — and not just from the vendor side — either it won't happen, or it will be the same kind of mess we sill have with, say, instant messaging (where there are no common NEA IM standards, just incompatible, mostly non-interoperable competing offerings from mostly-uncooperative major vendors).

As Craig Burton says, infrastructure only achieves that status at ubquity. You get that from grass roots movements that vendors as well as customers and users support.

This isn't to knock the Liberty Alliance and other efforts being made on the vendor side. It's to turn some attention to the customer side, where the demand side is starting to supply some "solutions" as well.

Pushing RSS

Pushing RSS 04/28/2004 10:29 AM

While I was hanging out at the hospital waiting for the new addition, I got to wondering if RSS has to be "pull" by definition. Could you "push" updates from a site to a client?

Say you have a notification client — a little app that sits on your desktop. You log into it, and it notifies the site that it's waiting for notifications on port X. This inserts the IP and port number of the client in a table of connected clients on the Web server. When the site is updated, it runs through this table and pushes XML to the IPs and ports in the table.

This came up because the nurses would often sit back at the station and monitor patients from there. Now, I realized you wouldn't do patient monitoring via blog, but say there was some event that happened on a site that was important enough to warrant more than the standard "poll-every-15-minutes" notifications. If you pushed the XML like I explain above, end users would get it in semi real-time.

If you used this in conjunction with NewsGator's ability to format and display arbitrary data, you could really move any information around quite well.

In the end, it's a cross between the "push" of email and the "pull" of RSS, I guess. Quite possibly pointless.

Pushing and Turning

Pushing and Turning 05/19/2004 04:38 AM

For every startup, there comes a time when you stop looking around and start pushing, the long haul.  Your goals are clear so you pour all your resources into filling and expanding the rank and start beating the marching drum.  At the executive level, focus shifts from faces and dreams to numbers and dollars.  It's a time of metamorphosis that turns a group of people into an engine of profit.

If all the pushing goes well, swell.  If not, there is no point in keep pushing in the same direction.  But all to often, startups I worked with over the years continued to pump away until the money ran out.  The smart thing to do would have been to 'turn' your product line toward a direction that will give more easily just as a wrestler might.  Some VCs see 'turning' as compromising of the original business plan, a great poopoo.  Hogwash.

If the landscape changes, the map must change as well.
