Overcoming Technology Barriers: How to Innovate Without Extra Money or Support | Edutopia
- Teachers' fear of learning something new is still the main hurdle to technology integration, says Bob Moore, executive director of information technology for the Blue Valley Schools, in Overland Park, Kansas.
- Creating time and opportunities for teachers to share ideas has led to "a common language about student learning and has accelerated our use of instructional technology," Moore notes. "You can't do that if teachers are working in isolation behind closed doors."
- GenYES encourages teachers to learn about technology in the context of their own classroom, side-by-side with their students. Professional development that's embedded in the classroom has more staying power than one-shot workshops.

Kountze in the News: Effing the Ineffable (An East Texas Revery) | text2cloud
For teachers working with memoir and teachers interested in archival research, this might be of interest: a multimedia composing project that works with the journals and correspondence of a southern writer who spent much of his life recollecting, in ever finer detail, his childhood during the Depression in East Texas. I teach creative nonfiction and I'm always trying to push myself to think about the possibilities new media composing affords that my students could explore.

True believer keen on spreading the social media word
"ROLAND Gesthuizen describes himself as a social media evangelist. His passion for social media and Twitter in particular extends beyond the global power of tapping into and sharing ideas. For his students it has brought the outside world to his classroom in a way that could never be imagined."
- - By Roland Gesthuizen
''Trying to take all of what is happening on Twitter in is like drinking from a fire hydrant,'' he says.
''So you end up thinking of it as a stream that's flowing past you; you throw your hook in and pull out an idea and if it's good then you let it go and let other people share in it.''
Motivation and Engagement: Hey Managers – Get Out of the Way
"The research Pink references shows that, once basic financial needs are met, autonomy, mastery and purpose – not money – are better motivators of performance. Pink points out that engagement and motivation come from a sense of self-direction – of trust, and of ownership. The message for managers here is that it’s time to get out of the way."
- - By Roland Gesthuizen
- Unless you’re some kind of mentalist, you’re not going to know what motivates your employees unless you ask them.
- it’s always important to look at how your talent management practices support employee engagement.
