Schools and educators who are working to integrate technology into the classroom and truly change the status quo will benefit from sharing their ideas as will others interested in adopting those ideas.

Thanks for reminding me of these. I know we could get mired in trying to come up with a definition of what schools would need to be like to fit the "really shifted" model, but it might be cool to start a directory of some type that gives us a little more detail.

A wiki page seems like the way to go, although that would require some anti-spam monitoring. One line I think needs some clarification: you say, "...or something other than standards based learning," as if embracing progressive education has to be done in opposition to basing education on standards. The culprit is "standardized-test driven instruction," not standards. Student-centered, project-based, authentic learning can happen based on standards, if those standards are properly drawn.

I'm looking forward more on this! Organization-wise how about a wiki with pages like:

- Writing ideas with one-to-one
- Tech tools of the trade
- Art, Music, and P.E. with tech
- Internet access parameters for teachers and students including management of abusers of the equipment or Internet
- Implementation of the NETS K-12

Great idea Will! I’m looking forward more on this!

We are a school that is in the beginning stages of trying to do more and I think that we could use ideas. Also just seeing what others are doing and the impact on students could be a great resource for those of us trying to find the next steps. I like this idea.
