I will expand on all the good info later, but I thought I would give you something to chew on. I just got back from the National Middle School Conference (NMSA) in Indianapolis. Technology was all the rage this year. One of the keynote speakers on tech. was Novemeber. His site is at http://novemberlearning.com/ is filled with much of what he believes we should know beyond just tech tools, but should apply in knowledge. He spent his Sat. session showing us how to find out if a site is valid and proving that it would be worthwhile for our students to also have these skills. There is also some simple syntax skills that are really neat. I hope to update you on all the really cool things in the near future. Unfortunately, I also managed to get the flu the first day I was there and I am under the weather. I’ll be right as rain soon and will have the video for the closing speaker, Rick Wormli, to share with everyone.
