Games and Social Networking: Games and social networking provide new ways of communicating and are redefining literacy. Students are both consuming and producing meaning in these mediums in dramatic ways, mostly outside of school. Educators from the Education Arcade at MIT share how these technologies affect learning, why teachers should explore their potential, and provide strategies for adapting these technologies in the classroom.
Envisioning Effective Laptop Initiatives: Determining whether teachers' current instructional practices support effective technology use should be the foundation for district decision makers before jumping into a 1:1 laptop initiative. Researchers Jon M. Clausen, Jody Britten, and Gail Ring emphasize the importance of thoroughly thinking through how these technologies are going to support meaningful instruction and determining whether that instructional vision is supported by building-level administrators and teachers.
The Challenge of Technology Leadership: The increasing engagement with media and technology in youth culture encourages educators to consider ways to connect this enthusiasm to school content. In their report from the annual National Technology Leadership Summit, the SIGTE leadership team and the NTLS program committee discuss the idea of technology, pedagogy, and content knowledge as the "total package" of elements to address effective technology integration.
