I know it is cliché to add 2.0 to everything but after watching this video about one of U.S administrations dynamic new groups—the TIGR (Technology, Innovation and Government Reform) Team, its hard not to feel that some exciting changes are on the horizon. The Change.gov blog keeps blowing me away with its content.
Talk of opening up the government data to everyone, mash-ups and remixing of information from the U.S government?
This is the kind of change I can believe in.
Watch the video.
What do you think?

Justin started his teaching career in the inner city classrooms of London England. From there he moved on to Africa where he enjoyed shaping some young minds at the American International School of Egypt. Opportunity came knocking next from Toronto, where Justin spent the four years at the York School, one of Canada's oldest and most established full IB and 1-1 laptop programs. Summer spent in Plymouth England with the Michigan State Masters of Educational Technology program renewed and interest in returning overseas. The interest turned to reality when he and his wife moved to Thailand to help shape the vision and direction of the International School of Bangkok. Now back in Toronto in the new position of Technology, Teaching and Learning Specialists at the York School he is charged with as he puts it "keeping the school on the pulse!"

Great find. So if governments are going this way, why can’t all schools?
