Recently I received an email from Joe McNulty regarding the technology tips on my own site and his extensive suite of technology tips. I reproduce components of his email here for you so that you may learn of his efforts in this area. Joe had mentioned that as a computer teacher at Newtown Middle School in Pennsylvania, USA, he was being asked many technology questions by his peers. As a result he began sending out daily tips to his colleagues and this has evolved into a web site with 180 tips.
The site is known as 180 Technology Tips. The tips are all listed on the opening page. You can also subscribe to receive a daily tip. It is well worth your exploration and Joe mentioned that the site already has about 2500 subscribers which is quite amazing. Joe has allowed me to link to his resources. Thank you Joe for the tip!

John, thanks for sharing the site, I wasn’t aware of it. I am a little weary as the site is heavy with advertisements and the first tip I visited was simply a link to Microsoft and another site with examples of Photostories. The examples are a good idea to add (teachers like to see things in action) seems that the “tip” is really an awareness. I’m sure there are some good ones, but I’d like to share something that we’ve been working on my work (I’m an Instructional Technology Specialist)… http://wiki.monroe.edu/. This wiki was developed for educators, administrators, students, or anyone for that matter, to learn how to use technology. As a wiki, it is a work in progress, but with 100+ articles it’s definitely something to check out, join and contribute!

Thanks very much Brian. The resources at the wiki appear excellent. It is well set up and the opportunity for collaboration is excellent.
There are good materials at 180 Technology Tips. I would dive straight into the tips at the deep end of the opening page there and get beyond the advertising. Cheers, John.
