Toys before Teachers
In conversation recently, I heard that US Dept of Commerce research of a few years ago listed EDUCATION as the least technology intensive area of western digital culture. Some web research showed that it’s absolutely true. The conclusion of this research is not old enough to be irrelevant.
Unpacking this statement for teachers and school administrators; our profession, the way we teach and the way we manage our schools has benefited LEAST from the technical revolution compared to… Continue

I've just seen a new downloadable app that may not be quite ready for prime time, but it's so powerful and creative that it must be added to your box of Web 2.0 tools.

To answer your question, I'm the Associate Director of the BJE in Los Angeles and currently doing work in the area of Communities of Practice as professional development tools. As you would imagine, this has led me to a rather intense immersion in Web2.0 and related emerging technologies. My interests have expanded into the world of ed tech and the larger issue of integration of technology into Jewish schools. I am looking for "fellow travelers" and appreciate any recommendations of people to learn from or directions to follow.
I tagged you!

You really have your hands full with 10 schools!

Glad to see you here :-)
Figures that you found this first.....you're always ahead of the wave.
I got in here a few weeks ago. It is a rather interesting environment with lots of promise. I set up my own ning and have played around a bit. I forget where I left it but will have to search it out again.
