Having said that, I am trying to connect the technology to what I have been teaching them all year in order for them to 1) apply what they have learned and 2) feel more at ease with the tech integration. Thanks for your comments MG!R.

We spend so much time with our students talking about making connections to their own lives from their learning and about opportunities to apply their acquired knowledge and skills in real life. This does it with one sweep of the brush (or the pen so to sepak) Great work! MGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
