LIVE CHAT TODAY
"The Information Edge: Using Data to Accelerate Achievement"

WHEN: Today, Friday, May 5, 2006, 3 p.m., Eastern time
WHERE: http://www.you-click.net/GoNow/a15864a146633a235000156a1

How did your state do?

The ninth annual edition of "Technology Counts 2006: The Information  
Edge: Using Data to Accelerate Achievement," grades the states on  
several school technology indicators, finding, for instance, that  
West Virginia leads the nation with an overall grade of "A," while  
Nevada trails with a "D-."

A survey of state education officials conducted for the report finds  
that despite the federal government's push to make data central to  
instructional decisions, states are still far from putting their  
electronic information into a form that local educators can easily use.

Join us this afternoon as we take your questions on "Technology  
Counts" and the states' use of technology and data.
