Letter from the EditorDear Educators,

Welcome to HotChalk’s MyDesk, a brand new editorial section designed to enhance your professional experience with news, articles, product updates, tips, blogs and more. Think of MyDesk as your community: a repository of practical resources and best practices, and also a place to connect with colleagues to debate key issues and share expertise.

MyDesk content targets technology directors, administrators, teachers, parents and others committed to offering the best education experience possible for students in the 21st century. We believe that all kids need the knowledge, “real world” skills and confidence required to compete successfully and help shape today’s global workforce and culture. To that end, we recognize as central elements innovation, the Internet, and the power of community.

Underlying all of these, of course, is the pivotal role played by a dedicated, well-informed educator. As a driving force in your sustained, high quality professional development -- anywhere, anytime, and on your own terms -- MyDesk aims to help you do what you do best: Educate.

We look forward to hearing your voices.

Best,

Susan McLester
