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're working to make this site more interactive, so please chime in on the discussions below or create your own. We've got a great group of ed-tech professionals here with a lot of collective expertise.
