Technology in higher education (click title for website--underlined yellow below--if there is one)

Campus Technology magazine is free to readers because advertisers foot the bill. Fortunately, the ads are relevant and often useful, but the three or more case studies per monthly issue tell how some sort of technology is being used pedagogically and successfully at a U. S. college. (The free subscription questionnaire is linked at the bottom of the magazine's website.) The magazine's website includes links to highlights from recent issues, case studies, an archive on technology topics since 1988, and 40 top websites for educators (including AskERIC with its "search the ERIC database").

T.H.E. Journal (formerly "Technology in Higher Education Journal" and now "Technological Horizons in Education" has broadened to a K-16+ focus.

The website includes links to the current issue and to online courses (about $130, double with college credit) on using technology in education, such as establishing a website.
