Welcome to the Digital Directions Networking Site

We hope this site will be a place to share new ideas when it comes to education technology and to work through roadblocks you face in your schools. We began by attempting to identify the top 10 problems in ed tech and to work toward solutions. We hope the discussion will naturally grow from there into an ever-changing conversation about how technology can improve education.

We've already started a forum discussion about the top 10 problems in ed tech below, so chime in, and explore the site and other discussions. Each expert participant can personalize their profile page, leave comments for others, or highlight their own ed-tech musings on a personal blog.
