    There's a "disconnect" between school administrators and parents. While more than half of America's school principal's said they think they're "doing a good job" preparing students for the 21st century, only a third of parents of middle school and high school students agreed, according to research released by Project Tomorrow and Blackboard.

    Photo of Billy Collins Welcome to Poetry 180. Poetry can and should be an important part of our daily lives. Poems can inspire and make us think about what it means to be a member of the human race. By just spending a few minutes reading a poem each day, new worlds can be revealed. Poetry 180 is designed to make it easy for students to hear or read a poem on each of the 180 days of the school year. I have selected the poems you will find here with high school students in mind. They are intended to be listened to, and I suggest that all members of the school community be included as readers. A great time for the readings would be following the end of daily announcements over the public address system.

    twiducate.com is a free resource for educators. Developed in 2009, our goal is to create a medium for teachers and students to continue their learning outside the classroom. We attempt to fill a need for a more educationally focused, safe venue for teachers, schools, and home learners in a social networking environment. We understand that many social networking sites exist, however the control of content is limited for teachers. Also, many of these social networking sites are continuously being blocked by school firewalls and administrators. Our service proudly differs in that only teachers and students may view classroom posts, thus creating a private network for you and your students and a safer online learning environment.

    Making the News 2 (MTN2) is a website designed to introduce students to the world of online media publishing and broadcasting for the 21st century. Teachers may register, doing so will create a homepage on MTN for their school. The teacher may then create student accounts. Students can then login and create articles and programmes which will be submitted to the teacher and if approved published on the school homepage. Well rated articles will be added to the National MTN2 site. Articles may be text and images or they may be video, audio or a sequence of images.

  • Executive Perspective Harnessing Kids’ Tech Fascinationby DANIEL A. DOMENECH I am intimidated by people like Alan November whose fingers glide over their computer keys and in the process go to websites that offer the answers to all the questions that would otherwise go unanswered.

Personal Panic I was a young superintendent on Long Island, N.Y., when, in 1978, I bought the first set of Commodore PET computers for our schools. You could play Space Invaders on it, but mostly you had to learn to program the darn thing to get it to do anything. High school courses focused primarily on learning programming language. Few could afford to buy a Commodore for home use and the power of the Internet had yet to be unleashed.

    You might find something of interest to you here! When I first set out to create this site, I wanted it, above anything else, to be something practical. I wanted it to be something real teachers could use. I want to offer support to new teachers who were hired the day before school started, and were talked into taking two extra preps, and have gang problems inside their classrooms. And I want it to be a place where you could find like-minded colleagues who are dedicated to improving our society through education, as hard as the reality of that may be for those of us in the classroom.
