---------------------------------

For the 12th Day of Teachers.Net, we present the Teacher Tech Center, a collection of specialized teacher chatboards designed to help teachers effectively implement technology into their curriculum.

Teachers.Net was founded 15 years ago, with the goal of helping teachers conquer and harness the power of emerging - and often intimidating - technologies. A decade and a half later, the face of education technology has almost completely changed - but our mission remains just as vital today.

You can tap into the power of our worldwide community of educators, just by visiting and supporting our teacher resources. Today we invite you to browse, experience and bookmark our Teacher Teachnology Center - eight chatboards and companion mailrings designed to help you easily conquer the daunting learning curves of technology that face all teachers, and challenge them to stay abreast.


The Eight Chatboards of the Teachers.Net Tech Center

NEW: PowerPoint in the Classroom
Microsoft's PowerPoint presentation software is one of the most effective means for students - and teachers - to communicate information in a group setting. Whether the presentation is a simple photo slide show, or an interactive center featuring a computyer kiosk, PowerPoint offers the tools to quickly and efficiently tame the task and present your material with punch. Bookmark our new PowerPoint community and post frequently to maximize the learning experience. Also, since this chatboard is today's new release, if you post today you will be entered to win a free Kindle with Wi-Fi from Teachers.Net. Enjoy!

Computer Teachers
The Computer Teacher Chatboard is an active forum designed to connect teachers who teach the subject of computers and computer technology.

Internet Security and Safety
The Internet Security and Safety Chatboard helps teachers work together to effectively harness the promise of the Internet for their students, while avoiding the perils that await unsuspecting educators.  Topics commonly discussed include web filtering for the class and campus, server security, protecting student terminals from accidental or intentional student "modifications," and all issues related to safe use of Internet and educational software.  Tech administrators are encouraged to bookmark this resource, to participate fully, and help allow classrooms everywhere to safely and effectively tap into the promise of technology.

Web Authors
One of our oldest tools, the Web Authors Chatboard (formerly "Webtalk") is a web community designed to help teachers build websites for their school or classroom, and for other educational purposes. 

Computer Whiteboards
Our newest offering in the Tech Center is the Computer Whiteboard Chatboard.  This forum covers use of "Smartboards" and other computer whiteboards and related presentational software and hardware. 

Apple/Mac Classroom
Teachers.Net was originally built exclusively on Apple computers, and we recognize the tremendous impact Apple technology has had in the classroom over the decades since the Apple first emerged as the educator's choice for the classroom computer.  This chatboard offers teachers a place to exchange ideas and discuss ways to use the Apple technologies to empower their curriculum.

Educational Software
This forum lets teachers discuss the mountains of software programs and systems designed for educating students.  From the simplest of calculators and web demonstrations, to most ambitious of pedagogical systems, the Educational Software Chatboard is your one place to discuss any and everything related to educational software.

Library/Media Specialists
One of the most active and vital communities on Teachers.Net, the Librarians/Media Specialists Chatboard connects specialists in the Media Arts around the planet.  At the forefront of the technological revolution, the members of this community zealously push the envelope, and foster the spirit of growth through innovation.

So there it is, in a nutshell - the Teachers.Net Tech Center embodies the core mission of Teachers.Net, to help teachers tame the daunting challenges of the Internet, and achieve excellence through technology.  Please join us on these chatboard communities, and help Teachers.Net in our mission, and help empower teachers to touch the future, with the greatest efficiency and confidence!
