Technology and Learning - June 2003
(This is primarily a K-12 magazine, so there isn't a lot of material that is
relevant to my position at the University of Miami.)
In an article on the "No Child Left Behind" (NCLB) process, mention
is made of two tools that allow a school (?) to evaluate its level of technology
use. [p. 6]
- Profiler Online Collaboration Tool (profiler.hprtec.org)
- Learning with Technology Profile Tool (www.ncrtec.org/capacity/profile/profwww.htm)
This issue includes a calendar with grant deadlines. Here are some grants worth
reviewing. Perhaps I should submit a grant, personally, to work with teachers
either at my childrens' school or just teachers in general. The magazine keeps
an on-line listing at www.techlearning.com/grants.html
