  5. Logistics • Cost: Anywhere between $0 - $30,000. Will utilize open source platforms, such as Joomla, Livecode, or Buddy Press. • Incentives: Will require partnering with teachers and schools with pedagogical flexibility. Incentives will be directly tied to pedagogical best practices and curricula improvement. Mynotebook.com will also be a tool for teachers to share and develop best practices. • Scale: Since the platform will be open source, mynotebook.com can be easily replicated and customized by any school or group. At the same time, mynotebook.com will seek to increase the number of schools, classes, students, teachers, and parents in its network over time.

  6. What can the Gov’t do? • Speak out! • Launch a PSA campaign through the US Dept of Education about digital literacy and digital footprints, similar to Let’s Move! Initiative from FLOTUS • DOE can also use the next round of Race to the Top to encourage localities to establish higher standards for digital literacy in the classroom
