Instructional Technology Update - January 2005
Every month, my colleague, Barbara Berk, and I assemble an electronic newsletter. In the newsletter we usually highlight two ‘features’ and then include links to several projects we have been working on or will be working on. The idea is for teachers within the district to hear about what others are doing, and to gain some quick snippet of information about technology. Actually, both Barbara and I think very few read it. Not sure why, since it is so short anyway. Any thoughts?
This month I decided to use my piece on the Flow of Information and how the requirement for new skills in the 21st century is changing how we acquire, process and present information. The second feature presents some commonly requested sites: those on grammar, images on the web, math and science, and the MarcoPolo site.
Projects that I decided to include: PowerPoint game shows, a 10th grade digital video project, an update on the impact of technology on students in the new technology enhanced wing, and a preview of the ISTE Institute conference a team of us will be attending later this month. Here is a link to this month’s newsletter:
