Mr. Jones insults teachers heavily here. He writes like many who profit from and push technology. Note his misogynistic use of "handmaiden" in his fitting conclusion. The NETP working group does the same: "many of our existing educators do not have the same understanding of and ease with using technology that is part of the daily lives of professionals in other sectors. The same can be said of...higher education institutions that prepare new educators"

OMG. This insults teachers, as if they use folk ( aka myth ) to teach. And what's the motive of Jeff to quote him? Rebuttal to this bad joke: Perhaps we would have folk in the operating room if we paid doctors like teachers, not to mention giving them 35 surgeries in a 45 bell period.

Marilyn Western's \nTechnology Tips for Classroom Teachers\n

Awesome Library-virtual library

Tech leadership article on how to create digital friendly schools, highlighting the roles of all stakeholders.  

The projects profiled here are full-figured creations by teams of teachers at schools whose cultures and schedules support grand ideas. Take a deep breath -- it didn't happen in one big swoop. Article on how to plan the PBL process in a classroom/school/district. I think this article is useful for any educator hesitant about the project-based learning approach. It's a lot of time and work, and then a struggle with how it is assessed. In my personal experience, project-based learning makes for an amazing classroom, but there is a lot of work done on the front-end to get students to buy-in to this model, and then to work within this model.
