International Technology in Education Mark
The International Technology in Education Mark (ITEM) is a new accreditation scheme for International Schools currently in pilot. Based on the UK’s ICT Mark and ISTE’s NETS, the scheme enables schools to self-review their ICT provision across all areas of the school, from administration to integrating ICT into the curriculum. ITEM sets out a structure of elements, strands and aspects to facilitate self-evaluation, benchmarking and action planning. The eight elements are:
* Leadership and Vision
* Learning Experiences
* Planning, Assessment & Evaluation
* Work and Learning
* Digital Citizenship
* Professional Growth and Practice
* Innovation and Creativity
* Resources

Top News - Survey shows barriers to Web 2.0 in schools
Teachers and students are largely driving the adoption of Web 2.0 technologies in schools, but human and technological barriers are holding back the use of these as learning tools in many classrooms, according to a new study.
Survey says students don't think their schools' tech is current
The recently released 2008 Speak Up survey shows that students feel restricted in using technology when they enter schools and suggests that this signals weakness in U.S. global competition. Although the survey found agreement among parents, teachers and principals that implementing technology in schools is crucial to student success, students don’t seem to feel that their schools’ technology use is up to date.
