A note from Jim on 12/31/09: "I would like to say thanks and good luck to all of the thousands of educators I have had the chance to work personally with in my years as an independent consultant, and to everyone who has made use of my list of resources over the years. A special thanks goes to those who shared their favorite resources with me, the people who taught me that my five favorite words are, "Jim, have you seen this?" So hard to believe 24 versions means 12 years of updates... 

JimMoulton.org, Inc. is now "excused," as the Maine Bureau of Corporations, Elections and Commissions puts it, and I am now working full time as an Apple Professional Development Specialist focused on Maine's Learning Technology Initiative. I am so pleased to have the chance to bring my knowledge and skills back home, and to be part of such a wonderful team of professionals all focused on making the most of the tremendous opportunities the MLTI represents. Best wishes to all, and please continue to make good use of web-based resources in support of all learners. Oh, one more thing - this site will remain available until April 1, 2010."

First and foremost Jim is an educator. His ten years of classroom teaching were focused on highly engaging and highly effective project based, community oriented learning.  As those projects evolved, the power of purposeful use of technology within them grew,  and so one of Jim's keynote topics, and a recurring theme in his work with schools is, "Beyond Could, Past Should, to Must - The critical role of digital technology in K-12 Education."

Coupling his commitment to making best use of technology with a foundational belief that we all learn best by doing, Jim supports schools in assuring that technology is integrated into all their teaching and learning efforts in ways that support the development of healthy, capable, and caring citizens and leaders for our future - students who are capable of taking on complex issues by making use of 21st century skills and tools, built upon a solid foundation of traditional skills and tools.

There are two networks involved when technology comes to school - the technical one is the one that tends to get all the attention and yes, it is important. But in fact it is the human network that will make all the difference in the benefits realized from any technology investment. It is all about what the people do with the tools... Nourish the human network with professional development at all levels, and encourage growth of this network through technology-rich project-based learning, and the value realized from your technology placement can be huge. 

Jim understands both the technical and the human networks, and can help you grow and leverage them together in direct support of student achievement.
