MEET THE ED-TECH INSIDERS
eSchool News Online recently launched
an exciting new feature -- eSN Ed-Tech
Insider. If you haven't checked out
Ed-Tech Insider yet, here's a sample
of what you've been missing from our
ed-tech experts:
From
Tom Hoffman ...
"One thing which is annoying about trying to find educational
resources for your classroom
is that, despite the fact that many, many minds have dedicated themselves to
making this task easier
for the teacher, they've
spawned lots of separate projects instead of one great one. The Gateway to Educational
Resources is an example
of the kind of source
I'm referring to. I like their technology infrastructure, but, quite frankly,
I have no idea if the site
is more or less useful
to teachers than any of the others...."
Tom Hoffman is an educational software developer who has also worked as a teacher and technology coordinator in Providence, R.I.

From Will Richardson ...
"... We need to celebrate and nurture the individual ideas of
our students (and our
teachers) more willingly, I think. We need to teach them that there are
many diverse opinions
and ideas out there, and that as individuals
they can negotiate
their own truths and bring those back to the group for further thinking. Now
I
know it's not a perfect
comparison, but that's
kinda what happens in the blog world..."
Will Richardson is supervisor of Instructional Technology at Hunterdon Central Regional High School in Flemington, N.J.
