Head of the Class: How Teachers Learn Technology Best.

McKenzie, Jamie

American School Board Journal, v188 n1 p20-23 supp Jan 2001

Educational technology is not about spread sheeting, word processing, or slick, "PowerPointless" student performances. Professional development should focus on curriculum-based teaching and learning strategies that enhance daily practice. Like gardening, fertilizer is needed via informal support systems, study groups, mentors, help lines, and collaborative structures. (Contains 10 references.) (MLH)
