This article is about students running help desks. This is becoming more common, as students are often better versed in technology than many teachers. The article identifies a relevant curriculum and discusses the dynamic shift from students supporting technology to technology supporting students. This also goes along with the Burlington High School help desk link I shared.

This is a website created by Burlington High School students that are taking a class called Help Desk. In the class they run a help desk to help teachers learn and integrate current technology into classrooms. This was administration's response at Burlington to teachers needing support in incorporating web 2.0 tools into curriculum when they started a one to one device system.

This page has a link to a compilation of articles on different types of blended models, including blended teacher PD. That article is particularly interesting, because it discusses modeling for teachers what they should be doing in classrooms. You can download the entire digital edition by hitting the link. Otherwise, you cannot access individual articles because there is a fee.
