Impressive site to connect people in a collaborative work/social setting.  It essentially lets you setup a private network of users in an interface inspired by facebook, youtube, and yahoo answers. I'm curious to know if any schools or classrooms have tried it out-

The Essex Primary ICT Curriculum provides a wealth of materials to support colleagues in Primary schools in planning, teaching and assessing ICT.

The Partnership for 21st Century Skills developed the Milestones for Improving Learning and Education (MILE) Guide for 21st Century Skills to assist educators and administrators in measuring the progress of their schools in defining, teaching and assessing 21st Century Skills. Up for discussion are the materials contained in the most recent iteration of the MILE Guide, published in Spring 2009.

School leaders, whether they are the ICT co-ordinator or leadership team, need to prioritise and plot a clear course of action for their staff. This is not to say an enthusiastic classroom teacher with a flair for ICT is not to be encouraged, but teachers need to be somewhat 'insulated' from the growing mass of emerging technologies so as not to be overwhelmed.

We, at LoTi, are proud to announce the release of the free LoTi Digital-Age Survey to all public schools in the United States. The LoTi Digital-Age Survey provides each participant with an empirically-validated tool that creates a personalized digital-age professional development profile aligned to the NETS for Teachers (NETS-T). This profile offers recommendations aligned to five popular instructional initiatives including (1) Level of Teaching Innovation (LoTi), (2) Partnership for 21st Century Skills, (3) Marzano's Research-based Instructional Practices, (4) Daggett's Rigor & Relevance, and (5) Webb's Depth of Knowledge.

Great for Schools!

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.

A simple but powerful way for students to keep track of their homework, and to never miss a due date again.

This Web site is dedicated to the idea that the very nature of information is changing, practically before our eyes. It is changing in what it looks like, where we find it, what we look at to view it, what we can do with it, and how we communicate it. Here you will find information and tools designed to help us redefine literacy for the 21st Century.
