Welcome -
This site is setup to model a classroom social networking site. We will post classroom discussion, videos and links to other sites. Some of the previous features on this site (uploading your own video, groups, etc) are missing from the site. We will continue to use the ning and explore other options that work with the class ning. Here is a link to the ning plans and the mini education Pearson Sponsorship. Please review safety settings before when using with students.

“The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.” Alvin Toffler

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
