We are everywhere bombarded by hype about information technology and its promise for education. The number of publications focusing on technology is correspondingly on the increase with a few already directed to educators. You have told us, however, that what's missing is a magazine that ties it all together by delivering a wider context and a sharper focus to the digital revolution and its effects on the education enterprise. We know, as you do, that technology is not in itself a panacea. Enlightened interaction and guidance are more critical than ever.
Stakes are high.
Our mission with Converge, a national, monthly magazine focusing on lifelong learning, is to get beneath the surface of the hype and beyond the buzz about technology. We intend to address your complex questions regarding education and technology. We think many of the answers are to be found in the examples of your peers who are a bit out front of the revolution, as well as in the vision of futurists discussing technology's imprint on our culture. Hence our primary focus is on the individual educators at all levels who are shaping tomorrow with technology. If we do our jobs well, you will come to rely on Converge as your partner.
