Top 10 ed-tech stories of 2006 & ECAR Study of Undergraduate Students and Information Technology, 2006

Top 10 ed-tech stories of 2006

Across the nation in 2006, educators sought out new policies to deal with the problems posed by social-networking web sites and other emerging online tools. In Washington, voters ushered in a new Democratic Congress with plans to overhaul President Bush's landmark No Child Left Behind Act; and in classrooms from coast to coast, educators continued their search for new educational technology solutions destined to prepare today's students for the challenges of a new century.

In this two-part retrospective, the editors of eSchool News count down what we believe to be the top educational technology issues from 2006--many of which no doubt will continue to make headlines in the coming year.

We hope you'll enjoy this look back through our archives and will use the information you find here to make the best educational technology decisions for your students in the New Year.

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
