This rocks. This woman did the work for me, and she did it almost a year ago. Where’ve you been all my life? Liz B Davis made this Del.icio.us tutorial, and I require most of my classes to use this site. I would say less than half the students stick with it, but it’s definitely [...]

Work showed this video in an in-service, and I am eager to really move forward with 21st century education, but how do we drag along all the conservative, old-school techophobes?

We always make the kids put away phones, ipods, etc… but should we?
