The Technology Coordinator’s Home Page is a product of an educational technology master’s degree project developed by Ken Russell at The Wooding College of Education at Western Washington University in Bellingham, Washington. In offering resources that can assist teachers, librarians, administrators and technology coordinators in integrating technology in educational settings, the author has created a useful web site. With very few graphics, response time is fast.
The Technology Coordinator’s Home Page is designed for easy navigation. The opening page contains links to contents, comments, frames version of the site, and a note on sources, methodology, organization, and authorship. The site consists primarily of textual resources providing access to resources relating to planning for technology use, administering educational technology, addressing issues of administrative computing, addressing issues of networking in educational settings, and obtaining educational technology sources.
The organization is easily grasped. The information is broken down into topics. The subsections follow a pattern of listing organizations, books, periodicals, journal articles, research publications, and internet resources. Descriptions of resources and links to web sites may be found for some topic section listings of organizations, books, periodicals, journal articles, and research publications. Listings of internet resources provide links to web sites and description of the web site, gopher site, ftp files, listservs or usenet groups. The links are uncluttered and downloadable.
The author’s intent is to include recent helpful resources and therefore he has avoided resources older than three years. This web site appeals to all educational settings from K‐12 schools and districts to universities. Yet, another appeal is that it offers information for the inexperienced technology coordinator who may need resources that will define the work as well as the experienced technology coordinator who may need resources that discuss recent developments. The Technology Coordinator’s Home Page has all the good qualities of a bibliographic source.
