"Digital apps designed to teach young children to read are an increasingly large share of the market, but parents and educators have little to no information about whether and how they work. Produced as part of a collaboration between the Campaign for Grade-Level Reading, the New America Foundation, and the Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop, this report scans the market of digital products and shares promising practices and programs."

"Evaluating the information you find is a key critical thinking skill. This page introduces specific criteria that you can use to go beyond a gut feeling that a website or article is "good" or "bad." The memorably named C.R.A.P. test (Currency, Reliability, Authority, and Purpose/Point of view) is a tool for backing up your judgement with a clear explanation of WHY a source is good or bad depending on what you'll use it for.

Sanborn Regional High School has been acknowledged by Bramonte and Colby (2012) as a leader in a movement from traditional to competency-based grading for all courses in the State of New Hampshire. A “competency” is the ability of a student to apply content knowledge and skills in and/or across the content area(s). At Sanborn, all courses use a competency-based grading system. By this, it is meant that assignments are linked back to the competencies that they are designed to assess and student performance is reported in a way that tracks student mastery of the competencies that have been identified for each course. This shift in focus allows the school to use report cards and transcripts to more accurately report what it is a student knows and is able to do.

What this will do for you: At a school site where teachers are creating individual lesson plans by submitting lesson plans to a Google Form a coach or administrator can receive all of the lesson plans neatly formatted into a single folder in their Google Drive. These documents can then be printed and shared in a binder, shared electronically with teachers to encourage cooperation and collaboration and can be jointly edited and commented on by coach, administrator or grade level team.

"Google form can be used to make vote or survey. However, it can not prevent multiple submission. So I wrote this script "voTer" to solve this problem. This script works best in the Google Apps, because it requires user "sign-in" to submit, and the "sign-in username" is the key. For each submission, the script will compare the "username" with previous recorded usernames. If the username is existed, then the new submission will be deleted. At the same time, an email will be sent to that person for notification. Please do tailor the highlighted part in the script to fit your situation."

Project Adopt A Country is a year long 8th Grade Social Studies Project. All of the instructions and resources are posted online. The social studies teachers collaborate and create a common curriculum and technology experience for all eighth graders just prior to entering high school. Students interact with a virtual teacher for support blended with computer instruction in the lab at the school so they learn how to communicate and problem solve online while independently managing their time to complete each project which then results in a cumulative online portfolio!

MyThology is a collaborative project for high school students. The lesson is deliberately open to interpretation and variation to accommodate various curriculums.

Author Robin Sloan has spent time on both sides of the digital divide, both as a short-story writer and an employee at Twitter — where he described his job as "something to do with figuring out the future of media."
- "If you come from the Internet, as I do — I think of it as sort of my native country — there's a lot of great things happening on the Internet, but one of the things, one of the feelings you just can't escape is the sense that it's really hard to keep people's attention,"

"The dialogue around filtering must also include bring-your-own-device policies, appropriate use of social media in schools, and overall responsible use of technology in school. Each of these issues plays an important part in the equation that influences school policy around filtering websites. For example, do students and teachers use social media sites like Edmodo or even Facebook for class purposes? Are educational videos on YouTube part of teachers’ curriculum? In large school districts, does it make sense to have individual school policies? Are students allowed to use their cell phones?"
