Today's Newsletter: Edtech in the News

The newsfeeds this week have a flurry of edtech-related stories. Tech&Learning advisor Steve Young, the chief technology officer of the Judson Independent School District in San Antonio, is quoted extensively in this New York Times piece on the uncertainty with education apps. nprED brings many of the terms and issues our readers may find old news to one of the more overlooked segments of the edtech market—parents. And this essay in Slate (originally by The Hechinger Report) looks on integrating emotion into the integration of technology in the classroom. Finally, Education Week hits upon a subject that has been popular at our most recent Tech&Learning Live events — how Chief Technology Officers play an increasingly key role in curricular issues. —Kevin Hogan, Content Director
