Learning (and teaching) goes digital!

Times certainly are changing!  Gone are the days of Oregon Trail and overheads as the only means of technology integration in the classroom.  Teachers have to adapt, and yes even let go of, some of our outdated (but much loved) methods.  There are tons of quick and efficient ways to adapt technology into your classroom curriculum.  With something as basic as an iPad (or computer) and a projector, you too can be on your way to digital diversity!

The fact remains though, that technology for some is an essential tool that is used in every part of daily life.  For others, it is considered a vaguely irritating necessity that is tolerated at best.  No matter your comfort level however, it is undeniable that our world has gone digital.  Armed with iPads and an Elmo, we are grudgingly surviving in the trenches.  Ok so, maybe that's a bit strong, but there is a lot we can do with the technology we already have in our classroom.  ENTER our blog.  This summer we can share ideas and tips for 21st century "infusion" into our curriculum.  It may be a website, app, or activity, but hopefully you'll be able to find some useful information for next year.  At the very least, those that are "vaguely irritated" by all this computer stuff might get, dare I say, inspired?!

Thanks for joining us on our adventure!  And now, I leave you with some food for thought....
