New Online Community Will Help IT Decision Makers Transform Education
Educational IT will focus on how IT decision makers in K-12 and higher education can best implement new technologies for education, administration, and business
NEW YORK, May 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- UBM TechWeb and UBM DeusM today launched Educational IT (http://www.EducationalIT.com), an online community for IT decision makers committed to deploying technology to K-12 schools and higher education, making their institutions more effective at teaching and doing business.
The site is a leading provider of information and analysis on the future of educational IT amid changes brought on by the convergence of multiple technological and social forces. It is a community that engages insightful voices and opinions to shed light on the important issues surrounding the impact of technology on learning institutions, and a vehicle for IT decision makers to seek the advice and guidance of their peers. Daily blogs and busy message boards will be complemented by regular live chats and Webcasts about technical, managerial, and cultural issues that engage IT decision makers implementing mobile strategies, social media, enterprise hardware and software, social media, and other advanced technologies.
Experienced technology journalist and marketer Mitch Wagner has been named editor in chief. Over more than 20 years, Wagner has written about the use of technology at the enterprise level, IT management, emerging technologies, Apple, and Google. He has managed successful social media marketing and blogging campaigns. His experience includes work with The CMO Site, Computerworld, and InformationWeek.
"The Educational IT site isn't just about technology. Rather, it's about technology changing the fundamental nature of education, with IT decision makers shouldering the important responsibility to lead that change," says Wagner. "IT decision makers can look to each other for the best guidance, and the Educational IT site is the community to pull them together."
The site is published by UBM TechWeb and UBM DeusM.
