A Principal's Reflections

I constantly see and hear about leaders who tout themselves in a way that makes others develop a perception that they actually know something about the effective integration of a variety of technology tools to improve professional practice.

I was devastated to learn a few weeks back that Google Reader was getting the ax. I took solace knowing that many of the other Google tools that I have become quite attached to were still around.

I learned at TSETC that Adam runs a 100% free website called eduTecher that reviews and catalogs over 1,100 free web tools as well as offering short videos explaining how to use them in the classroom. New Milford High School alumnus Erica Hartman covered over 20 free tools that any teacher could easily use in the classroom.

I wrote a post on December 28, 2009 where I talked about tools that I thought would have a break out year. There was a lot of buzz about it every now and then on Twitter but I still don''t see it''s widespread adoption as a great storytelling tool and feedback tool. How did I do? Very easy and lots of potential. Need ideas?
