Luna's tech task force approves recommendations
Idaho — A statewide task force on Tuesday approved dozens of recommendations for how Idaho should implement new education changes that phase in laptops for every high school teacher and student while making online courses a requirement to graduate.
The task force was created in May as part of sweeping new education changes backed by public schools chief Tom Luna. The group is charged with executing the piece of Luna's plan that boosts technology in the classroom and members held a final meeting to vote on a list of recommendations for lawmakers to consider.

Who Are the Top Technology Innovators in Higher Education?
You’re probably sick of lists at this point in the year. Indulge us: You’ll like this one, and we need your help to compile it. The Chronicle plans to profile 10 of the top technology innovators in higher education. This is your chance to nominate them.
In the comments section of this blog post, tell us who you think is doing the most exciting work around higher education and technology. Yes, that’s a pretty broad topic—by design. Nominees can come from any area within academe (teaching, libraries, scholarship, admissions, student life, online learning, etc.) or outside of it (companies, government, think tanks, publishing). Basically, we’re looking for people who are thinking big about how technology can change education—and putting their ideas into practice.
These are profiles, so we’re also looking for stories—what people are like, how they got to where they are, what impact they’ve made, why these issues matter to them. So don’t forget to include that stuff in your suggestions, too. Thanks!Read more

Technology: Comcast, Time Warner officially give up on wireless
Verizon Wireless' announcement Friday that it was buying the airwaves previously gobbled up by the country's leading cable TV operators confirmed at least one truism: Never count on the cable industry to make a big, bold investment in technology.
It's worth remembering that when Comcast, Time Warner Cable and other top cable operators acquired the spectrum in 2006, they didn't promise to do anything with it. The practically promised the opposite, in fact:
Verizon can (and probably will) put the spectrum to use, so it's got that going for it. Nevertheless, it's disheartening to see cable operators, who are vital suppliers of bandwidth, throw in with another big supplier instead of finding a way to compete. If the Federal Communications Commission approves the transfer, that should drive a stake through the argument (by AT&T and others) that the wireless market is likely to become more competitive.
The deal should also persuade lawmakers to increase the amount of spectrum available for unlicensed uses. The Consumer Federation of America released a study this week estimating that Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and other unlicensed uses of spectrum are worth more than $50 billion to consumers and businesses, or far more than those airwaves could have generated from auction sales.
The Senate Commerce Committee has already approved a bipartisan bill (S 911) to shift more of the spectrum used by television broadcasters to licensed and unlicensed uses. The House Energy and Commerce Committee is considering a Republican alternative that would effectively bar unlicensed uses of this spectrum, which would be a terrible blow to innovation and competition. Here's hoping Verizon's announcement Friday persuades the House to make more airwaves available for the next innovation in unlicensed wireless uses, rather than letting the Verizons and AT&Ts of the world lock them up.

It's worth remembering that when Comcast, Time Warner Cable and other top cable operators acquired the spectrum in 2006, they didn't promise to do anything with it. The practically promised the opposite, in fact:
The licenses provide many options and significant flexibility as the SpectrumCo partners evolve their plans for wireless. The members of SpectrumCo did not approach this investment with the intent of becoming the nation's fifth wireless voice provider, but to obtain greater flexibility in developing options for more advanced wireless services. While no plans have as yet been finalized, including no specific plans to build out the networks at this time, in coming months the members of SpectrumCo will fully evaluate all options including possible testing in limited markets.
The press release went on to note how the cablers had gotten the spectrum for a relative bargain. Sure enough, they appear to be selling the licenses at a significant markup, showing again that these guys really know how to extract value from a public resource.Verizon can (and probably will) put the spectrum to use, so it's got that going for it.

Technology may be hurting belief in Santa
New York— Kids can video chat with Santa, follow him on Twitter or enlist NORAD to track his every move online. And yet in many ways, technology may be making it harder for parents to keep their children believing in the jolly old elf.
At nearly every turn, the Internet threatens to blow the fat man's cover.
Practically any schoolchild can type "Is Santa real?" into Google. And just a few clicks can bring youngsters to websites that sell customized letters from the North Pole or offer advice on how Mom and Dad can fool the kids into believing in old St. Nick.
"I have a love-hate relationship with technology and Santa," said Kristi Kovalak, a mom in St. Louis. "The beauty of Santa is the not knowing. Technology is all about knowing, and knowing this instant. I swear, Google is the nemesis of the North Pole."
She embraces digital life daily but stays far away from cyber-Santa for her two boys, ages 5 and 11.
"We don't do robo-calls. We don't submit lists to Santa online. I don't have tracking apps on my phone," she said. "Too much proof means you then have to explain away when the next crazy thing contradicts it."
Kevin Grout and his wife had a close call recently while watching a Santa Claus parade on TV with their children, ages 6, 4 and 5 months. A commercial came on for a website that creates email greetings from Santa. They switched channels just in time.Read more

State payroll gift program to be reviewed
A program that lets employees at state agencies, universities and community colleges make charitable donations through payroll deductions faces a broad review that is expected to include the question of whether hundreds of charities admitted to the program all qualify under state law and whether the law should be revised.
Officials of the State Employee Charitable Campaign 's governing committee said Friday that the review would be in conjunction with a review by the Sunset Advisory Commission , a legislative panel that examines state agencies to determine whether they should be revised or closed. The campaign raised more than $9.8 million for charitable organizations in 2010.Read more
