Technology is constantly changing the way we live, work, learn and play. Our students are living in a digital world in which they are inundated with information on a daily basis. They must know how to retrieve information and analyze it for its accuracy and pertinence. They must be able to apply the knowledge they acquire to real world situations and use it to solve problems and make decisions in a world that has become increasingly “small.” Social, economic, political and cultural issues throughout the world directly affect the future of our students, largely due to advancements in technology over the years.

I have put together some resources that I hope will inspire you to learn more about using technology to enhance the learning experience of your students. This is a work in progress and I will be continually adding resources as I discover them. If there is something here that you want to learn more about, please let me know and we'll explore.
