This is an interesting article about new teachers entering the field and what principals are expecting they are learning and bringing to the workplace in terms of technology integration.  Interestingly, when digital students are taught using 'old' methods, they are not much more prepared than veteran teachers to integrate technology....although they may be less fearful as they personally use many more digital tools.

This year's program is all about professional development for tech lead learners-those edtech leaders who bridge the gaps between classroom and administration, curriculum and technology, school and home. This full day of workshops and discussions is specifically designed to "train the trainers" with shared best practices, workshops, and discussions that attendees can take back to their districts and put into action. This is your chance to network with others who care deeply about the future of education.

Incredible resource for educators in the area of technology integration.

Wonderful resources to share as you work with teachers.
