Isakson, Carol
Education Digest: Essential Readings Condensed for Quick Review, v71 n7 p79-80 Mar 2006
In this article, the author presents a listing of Web resources which showcases sites created by school districts to support staff use of available technologies. These include Online Technology Tutorials from the Kent School District, Tips and Tutorials from the Kenton County (Kentucky) Schools Office of Instructional Technology, and Teacher Tools: Tutorials & Web Resources from the Palo Alto (California) Unified School District among other resources. The contents of these resources are tailored to the needs of working educators and highlights practical tips not in manuals. Nearly all of these sites provide additional tips for using Microsoft Office in the classroom. These resources are useful for exploring technologies that others are using. Moreover, the author suggests adding a tip or two to one's classroom website or blog for students as well as adapting handouts for one's assignments and encourage students to keep a collection of them. This also offers an excellent opportunity to model proper citation of one's sources to the students.
