And, we're back!  After a crazy week of meet the teacher/back to school nights, I'm happy to be back to the Roundup!  In the interim, there have been some exciting developments, well, really just one exciting development: The Ed Tech Roundup is launching a podcast with my good friend Saul Heide (@NoPaperNoProb)  Every Wednesday night we'll discuss classroom integration ideas, new apps and tech tools, technology successes and failures, and we'll even have some awesome guests along the way.  Check out our new twitter page for more (@MCTechFest)

First up, American Radio Works has a new essay/documentary entitled, "One Child at a Time: Custom Learning in the Digital Age."  It's an excellent article about how teachers and technology can work together to continue improving the current state of education.  It's a long one though, so set aside an hour or so (or download the MP3 version for the drive to work!)

Jackie Gerstein at User Generated Education has a wonderful new article on, "School, Executive Functions, and Technology." In the post, Gerstein discusses the role technology can play in helping students learn and practice executive functions and self-regulating skills.  She provides some excellent technology tools to try and discusses tons of integration ideas.

Shane Haggerty as Edudemic has an excellent new post entitled, "How (and Why) to Try Twitter Teams In School."  Twitter can be an excellent tool to connect district stakeholders (parents, teachers, administrators, and community members) and Haggerty's article discusses some of the major benefits that can result from a connected district.  And, in case you missed the Roundup's recent guide/intro to Twitter, you can check it out here [ Seriously Teachers... It's Time to Join Twitter. ]
