Even stuff now relatively old—remember that “information superhighway”?— continues to deliver new ideas and innovations to cover. What gives an article or story real appeal, however, is not the technology itself but how people use it. Since 1980, Technology & Learning has achieved both endeavors—not only reporting on that next big thing in ed tech but also explaining how educators can use it to their advantage, from the classroom to the superintendent’s office. As the new editorial director for the Technology & Learning Group, which includes this magazine, our Web site techlearning.com, and our face-to-face Tech Forum events, I intend to build on that tradition.
