Welcome to 60 in 60! This site is a presentation created by Brandon Lutz and will be presented at the Pennsylvania Keystone Summit the end of July 2009. Brandon will be presenting 60 web 2.0 tools in 60 minutes, with a lot of extra sites. Brandon has a love for free web 2.0 sites that can be used with students to enhance teacher classrooms.

"The most powerful and ample resource for change in education is teachers' own expertise. Yet, teachers are regularly overstepped when it comes to leading school improvement. In the United States, less than one-fourth of teachers feel that they have great influence over school decisions and policies in seven different areas, as noted in the National Center for Educational Statistics' Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) database for 2003-04 reported by the National Staff Development Council (NSDC) in Professional Learning in the Learning Profession: A Status Report on Teacher Development in the U.S. and Abroad."
