There is no such thing as a private e-mail

Long and involved e-mails are not as appropriate as a phone call with sensitive subjects

Develop an e-mail filing system, probably best organized by topic

Use “reply” instead of a new e-mail. Avoid answering questions within the body of the original e-mail

Answer e-mails within 24 hours

Set aside 2-3 times per day to respond to e-mails

Use the automatic “Out of Office” reply if you are gone more than 24 hours

Legal Issues Associated with Technology:

•Do not delete e-mails.

•Do not post photos of students, teachers, or volunteers on the website without permission.

•Save your personal web surfing for home.

•Include a disclaimer on your e-mail signature.

•Ask for permission to link to any outside resources and web sites.

Skills such as global literacy, computer literacy, problem solving, critical thinking, creativity, and innovation have become critical in today’s increasingly interconnected workforce and society--and technology is the catalyst for bringing these changes into the classroom.

In a 21st-century learning environment, all students are able to learn.

Project-based learning allows students to acquire 21st-century skills in the context of real-world scenarios, and the integration of video and other media to support instruction links students with outside resources and enables teachers to address many learning styles at once. In fact, the 21st-century learning environment doesn’t just wait for teachable moments; it literally creates them at will.

21st-century school represents 'the will to change'
