[CALIBK12] anyone going?

[Jackie Siminitus]

Barbara, 
It would be cool if you go!  
I'll be going, representing the CSLA PR Committee (registered today).
I hear that Barbara Jeffus plans to attend.
Richard, are you going or mainly alerting the troops?

When I registered, there was a place to ask a question, so I asked if I could bring handouts to share.  Hopefully, there will be a positive response.  Regardless, I'll bring a letter on CSLA letterhead, copy of Doug Achterman'[s report summary, and the CSLA invitation/announcement about Classroom Learning 2.0 and how schools need broadband to access 21st Century learning (web 2.0) tools.  Any other recommendations?

Best wishes.

          This event in Sacramento gives librarians a prime opportunity
to ask how a state with the lowest level of school and public library
service in the nation can possibly deal with information technology (and
there's a free lunch):

Statewide Survey: Californians and Information Technology
Sacramento, CA
Date:     June 25, 2009
Time:     12:00 p.m.-1:30 p.m.
Location: California State Association of Counties Conference Center,

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
    While internet use and information technology is expanding, the
digital divide is widening for some groups in California. This survey,
the second in a five-year annual series of California residents focusing
on information technology issues, examines their access to information
technology, including computer ownership, access to the Internet, the
use of mobile devices, and parents* use of the Internet to connect to
their children*s schools. The survey also looks at perceptions of the
role of government and federal funding to improve access and
availability of broadband internet technology. This survey details
results in the five major regions in California, by race and ethnicity,
between urban and rural communities, and among socioeconomic and
political groups.
    This study was conducted with funding from the California Emerging
Technology Fund and ZeroDivide. This event is co-sponsored with the
California Research Bureau.
    Lunch will be p
rovided and there is no charge to attend.  Pre-registration is
requested.

SPEAKER: Dean Bonner is a research associate at PPIC whose expertise
includes public opinion and survey research; Latino and African American
political attitudes; political trust; and political participation and
voting behavior.
