A new, free online course is aimed at giving thousands of district administrators around the country help in using technology to meet their schools' needs.
The project, which is being dubbed a "MOOC-Ed," or a massively open online course for educators, is the work of the Alliance for Excellent Education, a Washington-based advocacy organization that has been heavily involved in promoting digital education, and the Friday Institute for Educational Innovation, at North Carolina State University's College of Education.
The course is to be the first of several massive, open, online courses focused on education organized by the Friday Institute. It's a seven-week class that will run from April 8 through May 24 and is specifically designed for school and district leaders, including superintendents, principals, curriculum directors, tech directors, finance officials, lead teachers, and others responsible for planning the use of technology in K-12.
