HIT: Professional Technology Magazine

[Lyn Mathews <FairstMaid@AOL.COM>]

Kudos, thanks and multitudes of gratitude to everyone who responded to my
question regarding a professional technology magazine for
educators!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here are the responses I received.  :)
**********************************************************
Multi-Media School by Linworth (I believe) is a good magazine.
**********************************************************
Try multimedia it is an excellent magazine.Go to www.infotoday.com
for subscription information.
**********************************************************
-- for what it is worth; TECHNOLOGY CONNECTION is a great magazine
-- reviews, articles on curriculum applications, Internet hints, and so
forth.  The magazine is now a section incorporated into its sister
publications LIBRARY TALK and BOOK REPORT.  LT is for the elementary
library media specialists and technology specialists; BR for the secondary
level.

If you want to know more about them you might visit their web site
http://linworth.com or e-mail linworth@linworth.com and request a sample
copy and information about subscribing.  Their web-site has some sample
articles on it too.
**********************************************************
 I review for MultiMedia Schools. There are wonderful articles about
  using the internet for curricular research, reviews, high level
 articles. I think you would like it. Check for their site on the web.
**********************************************************
 Syllabus is a pretty good magazine for education technology, though not as
 helpful in K-12 as it could be.

 Perhaps your best bet would be to have a subscription to (for example) PC
Novice and also to an education magazine that does a lot of integration....
such as Scholastic Instructor.

  It can be very difficult to find the perfect fit, but by combining sources,
 you  might be able to serve your patrons.
 ******************************************************
 Two of my favorite magazines for technology are Smart Computing (formerly PC
 Novice) and Family PC.
 ******************************************************
  Are you familiar with Classroom Connect?  I really like it, and it's
 as good for teachers as for librarians.
 ******************************************************
You may want to check out out Classroom Connect they have a web site and a
magazine with practical information for  educators.   Also Technology and
Learning  published by Miller Freeman, Inc.  of San Francisco.

Recent articles have been about copyright, filters, hardware and software
recommendations, sample lesson plans etc.
**********************************************************
For basic how to's in computer use I recommend Smart  Computing (formerly
PC Novice).  They have a website.
**********************************************************
My vote is for Technology Connection which has a good blend of library and
technology issues.
**********************************************************
    As a teacher, and now as a library media specialist, I've always
liked Classroom Connect. It provides a monthly calendar with websites to
go along with special days. It provides integration of technology ideas.
Classroom Connect also has a listserv and an online site:
http://www.classroom.com.Good luck with your searching.
