Welcome!

Welcome to Bill Ferster's Instructional Technology NewsWire

The goal of the NewsWire is to highlight trends and make connections between research, products, technologies, initiatives, and practices that will advance the effective use of technology in K-12 education.

Every two weeks I will share items that are of interest to me related to the intersection technology and education, and hopefully they will be of interest to you as well. There will initially be a focus on what is called "Web 2.0" Internet tools, as I believe they potentially offer a lot to connected classrooms, as well as the upswell in user-generated media.

Weekly Audio

I am a big fan of listening to spoken word audio, and each week will recommend one or more podcast or conference presentation that I have found interesting. They can be played directly from your browser or downloaded to your iPod.

Got news?

If you have any items you think fit this NewsWire, please feel free to email me at bferster - @ - virginia.edu (remove the dashes and spaces).
