The National Study of School Evaluation has prepared a set of indicators of high performing instructional and organizational systems that support students' achievements. Its goals include information technology basics, application and integration of technology, creativity tools and technology in life and society. The indicators are research- and field-based. This document would be useful for policy-makers. (The above Web site is still under development. In the interim you can reach the NSSE at 800-843-6773 or 708-820-2727 or 847-995-9080 or its office at 1699 East Woodfield Road-Suite 406, Schaumburg, Il 60173).
For technology coordinators, responsible for training your district staff, the december site will be very useful.It is updated regularly and offers a set of courseware from the basics to advanced levels. Unlike some other references in this library, this training is targeted directly to classroom teachers.
Inforetriever is similar with an emphasis on resources. The Web Developers Journals is a help desk for Windows users.(Life-savers here.)
Useit, too, is targeted towards specialists, sometimes called webmasters, with advice, gossip, product reviews, etc.
Institute for the Integration of Technology into Teaching and Learning pulls together many similar but farflung resources; it would take hours if you attemmpted this task on your own.
Atomic Learning offers thousands of short video clips to teach use and creation of software and other computer skills. Since this approach is available online, teachers can pull up specific understandings just as they need them.

A quick look at current educational employment listings reveals a mushrooming need for ed tech specialists in K-12 schools and publications, such as cybergate, reflect that trend. Now, specialists often query general listservs with highly technical questions. Occasionally, a useful reponse pops up but, more often, clutter results as a few individuals exchange lengthy email messages. It would be more productive to use these special listservs. Within the next few years available technical resources for schools will increase as they have already grown for technology specialists at the college level. (You will be alone no longer!)
