Summary of New Developments in Education & Technology

December 15, 2015 by Casey Daigle

Carol Holzberg, Director of Technology for Greenfield Public Schools, wrote a short summary of recent developments in education & technology. These developments are:

  • newly accepted Federal Every Child Achieves Act (ECA)
We thought this might be useful to everyone, not just those of you on the TiE PLC listserv*.

Connected Learning Supports Digital Citizenship

July 14, 2015 by Keri "Safire" DeJong

I have engaged in many interesting classroom discussions about what young people need to learn in order to be active and engaged participants in a diverse democracy. While technology can sometimes make the world seem bigger and more overwhelming, social networking and other media technologies are actually bringing humans closer together. For me, this means that we have the important opportunity to develop ways to support young people and adults to be thoughtful digital citizens who use technology in the service of equity, justice, growth, learning, health, and community…. [Read More]
