I am a first year teacher and my principal has told me that next year I must add technology to my professional practice. I am by far the youngest and newest teacher in my school and none of the other teachers use any technology more recent than an overhead projector. I'm not sure what is meant by adding technology to [my] professional practice. Why didn't my principal simply say add technology to my teaching? - Marie Dumont

I'm a veteran teacher who stayed home for 7 years after my husband and I had our children. The teacher's page of the 21st Century Education page is good because it lists and describes so many great applications and tools for teachers! One thing that would be good is if it had lesson plans or examples of how to use those applications and tools in the classroom. - Andrea Goldmark

The teachers page lists and describes many web 2.0 tools. How are these different from web 1.0 tools? Are there any teachers with experience in having their students use some of these web 2.0 tools? Are there any account issues and are most parents okay with having their children sign up for and using these internet tools? What kind of security is there to protect kids' identities? - Joan Dewey

Many of the web 2.0 tools we listed on the site are very teacher-student friendly. Teachers can usually control many of the features and keep them private. We developed this website as part of a masters class we took and while there is a link on the resources page to lesson plans we did not have the time to add those lesson plans. My colleagues and I have all used many of the web 2.0 tolls in our classes. We are happy that we could be of some help to fellow teachers!
