Looking Ahead ... New Technologies and

 Initiatives Coming Your Way.

Wireless HDMI

Wireless HDMI is a small device that plugs into a Projector or TV that you can connect your laptop or Android device to wirelessly and display what's on your screen, including audio.  If you are familiar with using an iPad with the Apply TV it is very similar.  No more cable to mess with or worrying about making sure your computer is close enough to the projector.  Your device connects directly to it wirelessly so there is no need for any other equipment!  The devices are relatively inexpensive, priced around $50.  One unit has been piloted with success.  The next Blog issue will contain a more indepth report on this sucess.

Welcome

Welcome to Region IX Education Cooperative's very own Technology Blog! With this blog we hope to discuss the use of technology to meet requirements in the Common Core State Standards, uncover the newest technology in education and share creative ways to use this technology in your school. Also, we are excited to feature some of our Regions' innovative teachers and students who are excelling in their use of technology.

We have a few contributors to this blog from a wide variety of backgrounds. We have finance, marketing and grant writing skills. Some of us are techies who work daily with everything from supporting users to coding programs and maintaing servers. Educators with experience across all subject areas and a continued interest in Educational Learning Technologies. This eclectic group of people are looking to help provide the best school experience possible for students and teachers. Hopefully, through the information we will be sharing we can make this possible.

We are glad that you took the time to visit our blog and hope that you will subscribe and continue to visit for updates. If you wish to follow us by email enter your email address in the top right hand corner of this page.
