The Boston Public Schools' Learning & Information Network for the Community (LINC III) Technology Plan is a living document that guides the district's use of technology from 2006 to 2009. Embracing technology as a learning tool is critical to the success of the district's educational goals.

TURN UP THE H.E.A.T. with Levels of Technology Implementation.

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.

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.
