As in all professions, the best worker is not one who works for pay, but one who works for the love of what they do. The idea is not to create a site that contains all the information that the technology coordinator could want. The world doesn t need yet another clearinghouse. Our annotations are not designed to provide a thorough description of a link, but are rather a capsule comment suggesting why that link is of interest. In this manner, we seek to help people navigate quickly through the storm that the Web can be and to provide the information that they need.
Most people have a very limited amount of time to search for relevant information.
NetTech seeks to reduce the time between problem and solution tremendously. The site goes beyond a mere listing of resources. We seek to model the constructivist philosophy, which has been proven to provide the most benefit from educational technology. Starting with the best set of resources we could gather collectively, we actively seek your involvement in building a resource that will become increasingly valuable to all of us. The addition of a whiteboard provides a forum to allow an ongoing asynchronous discussion of topics of your own choosing.
