=Welcome to My New Wiki! Please excuse the slow progress. I'm just learning as I go. My goal is to provide a convenient place for you to find handouts and information that may be useful to your classromm (see links on the right). New information will be posted as I find cool resources and toys.=

==One of the best tools I've discovered for expanding my knowledge of educational and technology topics is, believe it or not, TWITTER!! (Thank you SGILLEY, AAIM and Presenters!) Give it a try by choosing to follow Twitter users who are focused on sharing educational news and ideas for your classroom. For some Fabulous Info for Educators, check out my tech mentor at: http://sgilley.wikispaces.com/==

==So, what can you do //NOW//? Start playing with new ideas. Register for a conference recommended by colleagues for providing great ideas. EVERY curriculum subject, EVERY grade level can improve student engagement and learning through technology. You don't have to be an expert. Learn from your colleagues. Learn with your students. Learn FROM your students. Everyone has to start somewhere. You never know, you might find a new burst of energy that enhances your enthusiasm for teaching while bringing something new to your students--even if it's just as new you!!==
