GoogleMaps is a terrific resource that can be integrated into teaching and learning. The Instructional design and Technology program has created a Technology Integration Map that showcases this powerful tool. This is a challenge to all Schools out there to show the world how you are using technology in your classroom. Let's see how far we can get! One benefit of participating, you will gain a network of fellow users that you can contact and share and learn from.

The Educational Leadership course last spring began the design and development of a learning community called Technology in Education. This is a community in its infancy and we would love for you to sign up and begin participating. The more people that join and participate the better the community will be. A community of practice around issues such as technology and learning help each of us to learn and grow, ultimately a community of practice such as Technology in Education allow us to build a community that allow us to share information and ask important questions.
