ISTE Connects cameras caught up with several luminaries at the September 15 launch of HP Digital Assist in Washington, DC.  Among the officials present and interviewed was Steve Robinson, then Special Advisor to the Secretary, U.S. Department of Education, and now with the White House Domestic Policy Council. Robinson talks with DC-based Eduflack blogger, Patrick Riccards, about the importance of technology, equitable access, and reaching middle schoolers. Asked what he hopes to see coming out of this project, Robinson says more “proof points” of the value of technology in education.
