What is Web 3.0?
You may have heard rumors about the next generation of Internet-enabled technological advancement, but few seem to know what Web 3.0 is and what it can do. Ed tech professor emeritus Jason Ohler explains the theory behind the Semantic Web and how it can help educators manage the ever-expanding information overload by putting the onus of organization back where it belongs—on the computers.
Make the Most of Student Data
The latest iterations of learning management systems (LMS) come with data collection features to help you aggregate and interpret all kinds of data about students so you can tailor curriciula to individual learners' needs. Rob Kadel from ed tech research firm Techinnoval writes about the key issues your school or district should consider when choosing an LMS with data collection and analyzation capabilities.
The Way to Implement Whiteboards
Everyone knows that whiteboards are cool. But there's a lot more to consider when implementing technology to enhance learning and increase student success. Technology facilitator Alissa Parrish explains how the Kirkwood (Missouri) School District successfully selected and installed whiteboards throughout its high school, then trained the staff to use them appropriately and planned for ongoing technical support.
