Administrative Requirements

I have been completing my technology portfolio for my Educational Leadership degree.  This has been a taxing process.  I disagree with the symbolism of printing out a technology portfolio.  I made the effort and spoke up that I thought this portfolio was a bit of a time capsule.  Now I have been asked to make a proposal for changes.

The technology standards for administrators are fairly clear, but how should they be measured in a prep program?  Should they be embedded in coursework?  I am grappling with how to design a program that can change with the times.  Deciding whether video, mobile technology, wikis, blogs, and social networks should be included is a challenge. 

Google rules the world

Google is beta testing a web design software that comes with 100MB of space.  I tried it out and it is set up a lot like google-docs.
