EDITOR’S NOTE
The Last DD Issue
On Magazine Paper
Digital expansion puts emphasis on online offerings
W
atching and evaluating the rapid
evolution of e-textbooks over the past
few years has made me appreciate,
more than ever, the inevitability of
change. We have to be willing and
able to adjust to technological
advances and new approaches. And we are doing
just that in making this the last edition of Digital
Directions in print.
For the past several years, Education Week has
made a steadfast commitment to expanding and improving our coverage
of educational technology news and trends. That commitment began with
the launch of the print version of the magazine in 2007, and has evolved in
new and primarily digital ways to expand our editorial reach and give
educational technology leaders and thinkers the quality coverage they
need to help them tackle the technological challenges of today.
We have launched a host of ed-tech products and services in recent
years, including the twice-monthly Digital Directions e-newsletter, which
reaches about 100,000 readers; the Digital Directions online channel, a
source for ed-tech news and trends that is updated regularly throughout
each week; and our successful series of Education Week special reports
about how technology is changing K-12 schools.
The DD online channel and e-newsletter as well as the special reports
will remain a high priority and will continue to evolve and expand even
as we develop new products and services to help readers learn how to
use technology to improve schools. It's worth noting, too, that we will
continue to produce the print and digital versions of Technology Counts,
our annual report about the state of educational technology in K-12
schools. That report continues to be a popular product, and we plan to
incorporate more multimedia and interactive features into the digital
versions of Technology Counts in the future. What's more, ed-tech
coverage that once appeared exclusively in the print issue of Digital
Directions will now migrate to the pages of Education Week, further
raising the profile of that coverage.
Our goal in ending the print magazine is to become more nimble, and
in doing so, more useful to our readers. It is not just a good change, but a
necessary one. It opens the door to exploring new ideas and approaches,
which, ultimately, will push our ed-tech coverage to the next level. n
