About
The SchoolCIO Forum Digital Content & Online Learning mind map captures insights from 198 nodes across a single sheet, documenting a roundtable discussion among K-12 technology leaders including Bailey Mitchell of Forsyth Schools (GA), Rob Miller of New Canaan (CT), Cathy Higgins of New Hampshire's Digital Resources Consortium, and Eric Conti & Patrick Larkin of Burlington (MA). The map explores key themes such as the transition from print textbooks to digital content, the role of publishers, teachers, and students as creators of educational content, and the most powerful online learning experiences. Specific nodes like "unbundled digital curriculum" and "Textless Resource Collaborative" highlight real-world initiatives, while the "Report Out" section synthesizes actionable "Does" and "Do Nots" for districts. This mind map template serves as a structured cheat sheet for CIOs and edtech leaders navigating digital content strategy.
