Technology for Instruction

Today, I wanted to share a blog that I'm following.  Promoting Student Engagement is a new blog written by Eric Williams, a superintendent in Virginia.  Before you write it off since it's not written by a teacher, check it out.  It is surprisingly teacher-friendly, with examples of what the teachers in the district are actually doing.  It also has a technology flavor, one that comes from a perspective of using technology to improve instruction, rather than just using technology for technology's sake.  As a technology lover who still believes it's what you do with technology, not what the coolest new toy is, I love Eric's perspective. As a bonus, many of his examples are rigorous.   I've also been following him on Twitter (ewilliams65), where you'll find much more information and see lots of examples.  I encourage you to take a look, follow him on Twitter, and hopefully, the blog will be expanding more in the future!
