A teacher turned technology expert and her blog

    I really like this blog, found here, because her perspective is unique. I have never come across a person who can be a source of technology integration knowledge having also formerly been a teacher. Her perspective is valuable because she will understand better than most what kinds of technology will work in classrooms and what won't.
    She has many posts that speak directly to issues that are related to things teachers who are doing their best to incorporate technology into their classrooms want to know. Beth Knittle, the author of this blog, talks about what is happening in Massachusetts, the state she works in. One of her posts describes how the state curriculum of Massachusetts has adopted digital literacy and computer science as a new discipline. This is big, The state has not addressed the learning of digital material as important as subjects like math, or reading, science, etc. How will this affect teaching for that state? Will other states adopt this discipline?
