“One of the reasons we fear these technologies is because we as teachers don’t yet understand them or use them. But the reality is that our students already do. It’s imperative that we be able to teach our kids how to use the tools effectively and appropriately because right now they have no models to follow.”~ Will Richardson

ReplyDeleteGood Morning! This should be an interesting morning learning to set up a blog.
