EdTech Avenue

As I was working on the resource page for EdTechAvenue.com, I realized that probably the best way to compile a page of resources - ones that are actually helpful - is to ask what other technology coordinators are using on a regular basis.  My current search is for sources on online safety.  This is an issue I’m sure all schools are concentrating on as our digital natives are becoming more active on the internet.  There is a wealth of information out there, but some sites are geared towards a target audience while others are all-inclusive.  Have you used their tutorials, activities, guidelines, in your curriculum?  With what age students?  Have you seen results of success?  How do students respond?  If you have information you are willing to share with other technology coordinators, please register and post your comments!  Or, if you have publications you have created and would be willing to share, maybe for parent meetings or seminars, please email me.

This is my very first blog post; the first of many I hope.  I know, everyone starts that way…  In an effort to connect the Twin Cities area Catholic school technology coordinators on the blogosphere, I have created a web site and blog dedicated somewhat to our group but to share with the world.  Please be patient as I learn about blogging myself, and read what our other contributers have to say about Educational Technology, primarily its role in K-8 private schools.  Watch for articles, questions, news and notes on conferences, and advice as this site grows and the ‘Avenue’ gets longer!
