Lessons Learned for Effective Technology Implementation on 2009-10-22
- a number of elements can help ensure that technology integration moves forward
- use of a coordinated team instead of isolated champions is absolutely key
- 4 more annotations...
- - Strong teams, strong leaders, and tireless champions
  - no “one size fits all” professional development model appropriate for every site
  - any new initiative will be more successful if it meshes well with existing programs
  - Schools and districts often have multiple initiatives and grant possibilities available in any given year, but school leaders may not always connect all the available resources.
Educational Benefits Of Social Networking Sites Uncovered on 2009-10-21
- When asked what they learn from using social networking sites, the students listed technology skills as the top lesson, followed by creativity, being open to new or diverse views and communication skills.
  - Linda Wilson on 2009-10-21
    
    These are valuable skills for teachers as well -all would help to inform, enrich, and expand teaching
- students using social networking sites are actually practicing the kinds of 21st century skills we want them to develop to be successful today,

Nook Help and FAQs, eBook Reader, eBook Device - Barnes & Noble on 2009-10-21
- Directly load & read PDFs
  - Linda Wilson on 2009-10-21
    
    Well, I want a nook over the Kindle EXCEPT for the missing keyboard. Who wants to annotate without a keyboard? Also, no mention of text to speech. I'm guessing that means there isn't any.
    
    For use in schools, I think the lack of a keyboard and MS word doc support is a problem, although being able to read a PDF potentially erases that problem as long as you have software to convert your docs to pdfs.

    how does one load them - no mention of a usb cable
- fee for wirelessly emailing
  - Linda Wilson on 2009-10-21
    
    this is a little misleading - yes, there is a fee for wireless access to your document, but you can freely have it converted to kindle format and transfer it using the usb cable
- 4 more annotations...
- - EPUB and eReader Formats Supported
    Linda Wilson on 2009-10-21
    
    This is handy - the nook seems more "open" except for the lack of Word doc support. I wonder why they left that out?

Educational Leadership:Teaching for the 21st Century:21st Century Skills: The Challenges Ahead on 2009-10-12
- experience is not the same thing as practice
- Practice also requires feedback,
- 5 more annotations...
- - student-centered methods
  - teachers know about them and believe they're effective. And yet, teachers don't use them
  - simultaneously engaging with content, classroom management, and the ongoing monitoring of student progress knows how intense and demanding this work is. It's a constant juggling act that involves keeping many balls in the air
  - call for greater collaboration among teachers. Indeed, this is one of the plan's greatest strengths; we waste a valuable resource when we don't give teachers time to share their expertise. But where will schools find the release time for such collaboration? Will they hire more teachers or increase class size? How will they provide the technology infrastructure that will enable teachers to collaborate with more than just the teacher down the hall? Who will build and maintain and edit the Web sites, wikis, and so forth?
    Linda Wilson on 2009-10-12
    
    many school systems have all of these things in place, yet teachers still don't collaborate
  - there is a widespread belief that teachers already know how to do this if only we could unleash them from today's stifling standards and accountability metrics
