Comments 5 comments

The following is just a brain dump as I try to develop some workshop material on Digital Citizenship and communicating. Just thought I would share.

What a network! As Ryan is a much better writer then I, I will just direct you there.

I am taking some time to clean out all the saved posts in my Bloglines accounts. One of the ‘jobs’ is to look for new tools to help teachers meet the learning needs of their students. So here are two resources I found in my feeds. These two alone will keep me very busy. But what resources to have at my finger tips.
