Opening Up Education:
The Collective Advancement of Education through Open Technology, Open Content, and Open Knowledge
Released June 10 by the National Education Association (NEA) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), the study--called Access, Adequacy, and Equity in Education Technology--examines the state of educational technology resources and support in public schools across the country, as reported by classroom teachers and instructional assistants.
The purpose of this public wiki is to collect and share resources linking Computer and Information Technology with Differentiated Instruction.
All educators are invited and encouraged to contribute and edit as well as reading and using the ideas and strategies found here.

The goal of the 2005-2006 Sustainable Classroom Project was to develop a replicable classroom model of technology integration that was sustainable and supported research-based instructional strategies. The technology tools selected for the project by the Educational Technology Support Center at Educational Service District 112 (ESD 112) in Vancouver, Washington, included interactive whiteboards, document cameras, projectors, and wireless response systems. These digital tools were chosen because they were highly visual, interactive technologies that were operable with a single classroom computer. The instructional strategies selected for the project were those identified in the book Classroom Instruction that Works: Research-Based Strategies by Marzano, Pickering, and Pollock (ASCD, 2001).

Doing What Works is a website dedicated to helping educators identify and make use of effective teaching practices. Doing What Works contains practice guides developed by the Department’s Institute for Education Sciences that evaluate research on the effectiveness of teaching practices described in the guides. The website also contains examples of possible ways this research may be used, but not necessarily the only ways to implement these teaching practices.
The examples provided on Doing What Works – including any products named in materials from schools or found on websites referenced on Doing What Works – should not be construed as an endorsement by the U.S. Department of Education of any products, programs, or curricula.
The annual Horizon Report seeks to identify and describe emerging technologies likely to have a large impact on teaching, learning, or creative expression within learning-focused organizations.
