Transformational Digital Citizenship Digital citizenship involves more than just digital literacy, write Vicki Davis and Julie Lindsay, cofounders of the Flat Classroom Project. Educators must be able to effectively research tech trends, monitor the use of technology in their schools and districts, and empower student-centered learning mechanisms.

Learn from the Third World While educators in the developed world debate whether to use mobile technologies in the classroom, some of the poorest nations on the planet have embraced these devices, write Mary Burns, Marianne Montalvo, and Rebecca Rhodes of the Education Development Center, a nonprofit research and development organization.

Engage Your Community Learn how a district in North Carolina keeps its community informed and engaged using an interactive district-wide website. Superintendent Terry K. Holliday writes that they get 50,000 hits a day on the website, which offers online surveys, RSS feeds, newsletters, calendars, announcements, and other resources.

Note: The websites listed on this site were valid when the pages were posted. However, the Web is volatile, and we have no control over these other sites. Please e-mail the L&L webmaster (ll_webmaster@iste.org) if you have an update for a link.
