Tech & Learning - Website Review

In the 21st century, educators need as much help as they can to reach and teach students. The Tech & Learning website, www.techlearning.com, allows teachers to access technology information whenever it is needed. The site also offers an RSS feed which automatically sends updates to the user’s email inbox. There are blogs and tech forums that provide a place for educators to share their ideas and questions with an online community. Another feature of the Tech & Learning website is the “Webinar”. A webinar is a seminar offered on the web. Topics include subjects such as, “Integrating Math Curriculum and Interactive White Boards”, “Professional Development Through Just-In Time Learning”, and many more. The website keeps previous webinars archived making them easy to access. All of these resources are free to use without any obligation. The information is free, easy, and offers instant access to current news and technology reviews.

Though the Tech & Learning website offers valuable information regarding technology, a few aspects of the design layout could be improved. For example, to contact Tech & Learning, the user must scroll to the bottom of the site. Having this link at the top would make the contact feature more accessible. Also, due to the vast amount of information on each page, the novice Internet user may find the website overwhelming.

The Tech & Learning website has invaluable resources for educators. I would recommend this site to any teacher, administrator, or technology facilitator. This site offers educators a collaborative community to learn, teach, and share technology insight with other educators.
