Friday: I have an assignment for everyone. You are to find an article on the web about schools using technology in innovative ways. I want you to go to the on-line resources offered by MoreNet first at http://infotrac.galegroup.com/. You can search multiple or all sources here for technology in education, schools using technology, etc... Try different search terms. You will notice there are different tabs at the top with magazines, journals, books, and news that all have different resources for you to look at. Once you find a good article, PRINT it. The article must be about one school or district that is using technology and what the benefits of it are. You will type a summary of the article and must include the school name and location, what the technology is they are using (be specific) and the benefits the school is seeing from using this technology. If they list obstacles or problems they are having, you should include those also but the primary focus should be on a good outcome, otherwise pick a different article. Staple your summary to the top of the article and hand these in by February 23, 2011. If you have questions, ask!
