I sat down with my dad  to talk about how he's watched technology impact education.  Now 73 years young, he became a High School Principal in a rural Illinois school district in the early 80s.  He tells me about first uses of Computers in Schools starting with administration and moving into the classroom.  We talked about computer labs before the internet, and his first experiences with distance learning.  

He is currently working on writing grants for rural school districts to have access to video conferencing technology.  Rural school districts can then take advantage of opportunities to partner with larger school districts to get access to classes and programs previously unavailable to them.  

I had a blast talking with Brent McArdle! Thanks Pop!
