December 2007 Distance Learning Site of the Month

Keeping up with all the latest helpful technology news can be a time consuming task. This month's Distance Learning Site of the month, eSchool News -- Technology News for Today's K-20 Educator, makes that task easier.

The eSchool News website is packed with information for educators interested in all aspects of classroom technology. It also is an excellent source of news, websites, grant information, conference information and resources.

One of my favorite features is the daily news posts. Best of all, the news is indexed by 16 categories making finding current information on your favorite topic easier. A few of the 16 topics include:

• Association News;
  
• Budget News;
  
• Business News;
  
• Community;
  
• Conferences;
  
• Curriculum;
  
• Funding;
  
• Human Resources;
  
• International;
  
• Legislation;
  
• Litigation;
  
• Multimedia;
  
• NCLB;
  
• Policy;
  
• Research;
  
• Safety & Security;
  
• School Administration;
  
• Technologies;
  
• Technology Management

eSchool News also offers a selection of free e-newsletters including eSchool News, Daily News, eCampus News, Tools for Schools, and eScuela Americana--their Spanish language monthly with information on education technology.

To get the most out of the eSchool News Website, you need to register. There are more than 135K registered users and it's free.
