Blasting Away with Blogs

MAEA Conference, Friday, October 17, 7:30 - 10:15, Simonds

“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

Why the name "blog", if you become a blogger someone might mistake you as a boogger!

HI JIM!!! How's it going in there? Are they giving you a hard time? I'm sitting out here in the hallway like the kid who got sent to the principal's office :)

Thanks again for sharing your wonderful gifts with all of us in Adult Education.
