EdTechTalk has been a webcasting community of practice since 2005. We meet here to talk about education, technology, our practice and any thing else that's on our minds as educators.
This week, we focused on the haves and have-nots of education and technology. We discussed those who have technology vs. those who have very limited technology, as well as those that have supportive administration vs. those without.

Cindy Seibel show host shares her masters work with Matt Montagne and Lorna Costantini. Cindy developed a parent portal implementation guide.
From the guide, Cindy explains:
There is a significant body of research demonstrating the contribution of parent engagement to student learning. Based on this research, school districts are implementing technology solutions to support and improve relationships with parents with the hope of producing improved student outcomes. This project created an Implementation Guide for one technology solution, a K-12 Parent Portal.
The question what is a parent portal surfaced and Cindy responded to the question with the following video.
The challenge to all of us is to review the guide and then take it to parents and school boards to embrace and implement.
— to join us again, this time to reflect on the workshops, presentations, meetings, and conversations in the hallway that might still have been fresh in their memories. We wanted to find out what they had learned at the NWP's Annual Meeting this year, and what they were planning to do with all of the connections and ideas they had brought home with them.
