Education Week's Digital Directions: Top Picks - 0 views

  • Top Picks Go-To Sites for Educators Printer-Friendly Email Article Reprints addthis_url = story.getEncryptedURI(false); addthis_title = story.getTitle(false); addthis_pub = 'edweek'; Technology Information Center for Administrative Leadership This site clearly recognizes that school administrators are busy people who don’t have the time to surf the Internet indiscriminately for answers to their problems. It is a one-stop shop of content, expert advice, and interactive tools designed to solve problems or at least point ed. tech. leaders in the right direction. It includes numerous articles on a host of topics, such as relevant research on technology’s impact on education, what data-driven organizations look like, how to acquire technology through commercial partnerships, the best hand-held technologies for administrators, and how to find, hire, and keep skilled technology professionals. It also offers short profiles of more than 60 ed. tech. leaders, as well as a blog called TBLOGICAL, which has thoughtful but infrequent posts on topics such as multitasking, personalized learning, and the iPhone. One caution: The California Department of Education commissioned the creation of this site to serve the needs of school administrators in its state; as a result, much of the material is California-centric. Even so, ed. tech. leaders in other states would likely find that most of the material addresses their concerns, too.

    The # are interesting. Many missed the concept (see this picture: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/AoXOpgsCAAALBN9.jpg) I have IWB in action in Sp. Ed. implementations but are truely powerful when the students take over control of them. The other part is that they are great for students who have motor skill challenges. My 2 cents.

    Good short news clip on the teacher of the year. Most people can't access it at school (You Tube). Can it be changed to a format that could then be hosted/linked on the TICAL site.
