I blog regularly at www.EmergingEdTech.com, publishing several articles a week focused on various education technologies for the classroom. The intention of most of these articles is to make teachers aware of these technologies and ways to use them in the classroom. I hope you'll stop by and visit the site and subscribe to these free blog posts (and share your insights!). Thanks so much.
