Tweet

Recently, I've been talking to some teachers about my blog's content. I found it a bit time consuming to try and tell them EVERYTHING that is going on with this blog. I had been planning to write a Getting Started GUIDE for awhile but felt that this was the best time.

So, check out my new Getting Started Guide for this blog to learn quick ways of getting to the information you need to find.

Keeping you update with education research around the Web!

The U.S. Dept. of Education (Office of Educational Technology) has just released a primer for educational technology developers who produce apps and learning tools. What is great about this guide is that it contains valuable insight from long-time educators and practitioners in the education field about what is ACTUALLY NEEDED in the schools in terms of educational technology.

The Ed Tech Developer's Guide gives detailed information about districts, schools, teachers, and students all over the country. It also discusses practical issues such as design, teacher training, privacy and accessibility, purchasing and parental use of these tools.

It is a helpful guide intended for developers of educational technology and is smartly created using the advice and experience of those on the front lines. That's a win-win situation on any given day!
