Thoughts from two speakers I’ve listened to in the last week have been bouncing around my brain.

Whenever I give workshops about teaching with technology, I try to provide a handout of resources.

This is one I distributed after workshops I led at the Best Practices Institute at CTE last week and at the School of Education.
