TOP TEN ED-TECH STORIES OF 2006
[SOURCE: eSchool News]
Those top ten lists are popping up everywhere already. Across the nation in 2006, educators sought out new policies to deal with the problems posed by social-networking web sites and other emerging online tools. In Washington, voters ushered in a new Democratic Congress with plans to overhaul President Bush's landmark No Child Left Behind Act; and in classrooms from coast to coast, educators continued their search for new educational technology solutions destined to prepare today's students for the challenges of a new century. In this two-part retrospective, the editors of eSchool News count down what they believe to be the top educational technology issues from 2006 -- many of which no doubt will continue to make headlines in the coming year. Topics include: cell phones, video games, social networking websites, online learning, disaster planning, and the changes the year's elections will bring.
