In between jobs at fast-food restaurants and school, several were making serious plans to become teachers, underwater welders, construction managers and politicians. What happened? Technology. Not just any technology, but tools that look and feel like MySpace or Facebook -- integral social networks for most American teens.

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). aseldow Mon, 31 Mar 2008 17:27:36 +0000 sustainable classroom ed tech emerging ed tech http://janeknight.typepad.com/ Jane's E-Learning Pick of the Day: A daily item of e-learning interest selected by Jane Hart of the Centre for Learning & Performance Technologies aseldow Fri, 29 Feb 2008 09:33:29 +0000 elearning e-learning ed tech british
