I am from Monterrey, Mexico and I teach English as a second language.  My 8th grade students bring macs to school and have them available 24/7.  Anyone overseas care to make a collaborative project between your students and mine using technology?

As a software developer, I am always looking for what is the new application and/or systems that an educator needs. Where can software developers find the correct niche where they can utilize their creative energies and help out in the education space? Any ideas.?

I think there are several factors in the use or lack of use of technology in education.  These are my own thoughts, others may have different ideas.  I think the main reasons involve budgets, space and privacy.  Budget involving having money to purchase software and hardware, plus having the technicians available for troubleshooting and installation.  Space seems to be the answer given to us, it is the reason students do not have email accounts, and why our hard drive space is so limited.  Bandwidth is expensive I guess.  Privacy is something that I hear a lot too.  We are warned that on our Moodles, wikis, etc, that students must only have their first name.  Parents have to give permission for pictures on the Internet.  Content, including ads on the sites we use, is to be monitored.  I have had nervous parents and administrators about what the students are doing and why.  My generic answer is that they will need that knowledge for college and their careers.  It seems to get me by.

I am sure there is more that can be added by others, and I will think of more, but those are my immediate  thoughts on why schools are hesitant about Web 2.0.

I was curious as to why some people think certain institutions might be hesitant to adopt Web 2.0/3.0 techniques. I am a software developer who has worked in the higher education space and came across some schools who relish in the use of technology and others who are intimidated by it.  I have written  some articles at the The Happy Developer concerning technology and my thoughts on the matter but  as people who are in the trenches I was wondering if you could shed some light and share your experiences.

Hi everyone! I just finished writing a 65-page FREE ebook that helps teachers with reducing classroom interruptions, gaining student respect, being a great coach, and dealing with difficult parents. You can download it at

Anyone interested in having their students learn some project management skills? I have built a site for students and teachers to manage their projects online. It's called Enterthegroup.com and it's also free.

Is anyone interested in a blog like interaction about living in the US and particularly New York City. I can walk around the city with my camera and show the less known as well as the more famous sights. I can answer questions from the students. A very simple starting project. Anyone interested send me email at drz@enabling.org.
