eSchool News offers effective ed-tech management tips for your school

Oct. 5, 2010 - PRLog -- Bethesda, Md. - eSchool News (eSN) released its latest Educator Resource Center (ERC) focused on helping education officials better manage effective technology in schools.

Sponsored by Lightspeed Systems, “15 Essentials for Effective School Technology Management” provides educators and school leaders with best practices for implementing effective technology management.

Access to technology is critical in helping students build key 21st-century skills for college and the workplace—and a solid information technology (IT) staff is the backbone to any well-integrated, effective school technology program. School district IT staff help administrators manage their educational technology initiatives, while helping students and teachers take full advantage of technology for school assignments and research. Aside from technical skills, school IT leaders must be familiar with issues such as Web 2.0 tools, filtering, and acceptable-use policies to keep up with district needs.

Topics in the ERC include how to make smart ed-tech investments, security for web applications in schools, digital access and collaboration for students and how virtual desktops can save schools money.
