Technology is continue to grow each and everyday. It is the educators job to stay up to date with the new technology available in today's society. To maintain the skills I have learned from this class is by reading and using sources to stay up to date.

The teachers can post up coming test and assignments for the students.

  1. "...to use their imagination and think outside the box" You got it. That's what I am all about!

    iTunes/iTunes U:: No just music. That is the important information I was trying to convey.

    I am glad you see the necessity for breaking down the walls and opening ourselves to the world and a new world of ideas.

    Good luck.
