computers is in its infancy. Computers are proving to be useful in this

and college students where efficient reading skills are more important than
ever because of SAT/ACT/LSAT/GMAT... test taking and the amount of reading
required for school. A summary white paper report written by the
Educational Research Institute of America titled "A Review of the

Using 21st Century Tools for College Success
Succeeding
in college today can be a daunting challenge for students without the
necessary study skills or those with learning disabilities. Students must
adapt not only to a whole new learning environment, but also to a more
rigorous and advanced curriculum.
Virtualized Computing: Saving Time, Money, and Headaches
Though
the economy shows signs of improvement, schools and districts are still
faced with budget shortfalls and funding dilemmas. But many school leaders
are finding that desktop virtualization can help them save time and
energy--while providing computers to more students at a fraction of the
cost.
Doing More with Less: How Informed Assessment Practices Can
Help
In this
latest STAR,
you'll find a collection of reports and research detailing 'Assessment
Literacy,' or what educators, administrators and policy-makers should know
about formative assessment, performance assessments, the importance of
assessment alignment, using and understanding assessment data, and
accessible testing and universal design.
Teacher Collaboration with Digital Tools
One of
technology's most promising aspects is that it enables teachers to
collaborate and share lessons plans, teaching tips, and other helpful
information--both within and across districts, states.
Engaging Your Community with Effective Communication
Engaging
all stakeholders can boost your chances of success when it comes to
academics--as well as fundraising. But in tough economic times, many
schools must learn to do.
Empowering Education with Video
Communication
has changed, and students and educators are increasingly using video
technologies in all aspects of education.
