The three people that I think are prominent in educational technology are Bill Gates, Timothy J. Magner, and Larry Berger. Bill Gates is well known for his work with Microsoft. Recently he has worked on helping the city of Philadelphia to build the School of the Future. This school focuses on how technology can improve student performance. Microsoft has also backed several educational programs that help integrate technologies into the classroom.
Timothy J. Magner is the Director of the Department’s Office of Educational Technology. He has had 15 years of experience working with educational technology in school and the arts. His main goal is to develop a national educational technology policy and to enforce it. He was one of the first technology training specialists fo Fairfax County, VA. He was the excutive director for k-12 education for Microsoft Corp. He was also an interent specialist and program manager for the Kennedy Center’s k-12 ArtsEdge program for teachers.
Larry Berger is the CEO and co-founder of Wireless Generation. HE helps manage and improve teaching and learning in grades pre-k-6. He worked on Educational Technoogy at NASA, where he authored an education technology agenda.Â
