The topic of educational computing is one of those
that is "near and dear" to me. Educational computing can capitalize
upon the educational moment and it is the mission of today's teacher
to appropriately infuse technology into instruction. This is not an
easy task, especially when computers and related resources are in limited
supply. My "One Computer Classroom" presentation addresses
a variety of strategies in this regard; the content is presented online
here: Educational
Computing Presentation Resource . Resources below include software
sites, best practices, acceptable use, free email newsletters, professional
