Now available for pre-order on Amazon, 'N3xt Practices' offers insight into proven approaches to educational technology in support of 21st century learning.
San Diego (PRWEB) February 05, 2014
Networld Solutions, Inc., a leading provider of value-added information technology solutions, today announced that VP and Principal Education Technology Consultant Darryl Vidal has co-authored a new book aimed at guiding K-12 education decision makers through the successful planning and implementation of technology strategies. The book, titled N3xt Practices: An Executive Guide for Education Decision Makers, is now available for pre-order on Amazon. Its release marks a milestone in Networld Solutions’ continued efforts to foster the use of technology to advance education outcomes.
“Technology has had a profound impact on education – from improving productivity and decision making at the district-level to how we engage students and foster greater participation in the classroom environment,” says Vidal, who co-authored the book with Michael Casey, a long-time teacher and education technology specialist. “With two decades’ experience helping educational leaders develop technology initiatives, I have unique perspectives on what works, what doesn’t and why. N3xt Practices is my attempt at sharing the best approaches to educational technology in support of 21st century learning.”
Available in hard cover mid-February, N3xt Practices discusses technology-based initiatives designed to improve educational delivery systems and student achievements, while providing case studies and practical advice on the processes critical to successful deployment. In the book, Vidal draws upon his more than 20 years of IT consulting experience in the education sector, including handling district-wide implementations of VoIP, wireless, data center virtualization and video security, with a primary instructional focus on the evolving technology classroom.
No-Cost Education Technology Seminars Slated for Feb. 25 and 26
Later this month, Vidal will share his K-12 technology expertise first-hand with superintendents, curriculum directors and technology coordinators by presiding over two no-cost seminars. The presentations are designed to provide guidance on strategy planning surrounding the implementation of common core standards and will take place in Ellisville, Mississippi on February 25 and Ozark, Alabama on February 26.
