Becky, I agree with your comment that the IT coordinator helps guide the integration and I believe that they are following the NETS to help infuse the necessary skills to teach the technology tool that will be most effective for both teacher and learner.

I agree that the cloud makes our lives easier and much more portable. I love the fact that I can take a photo and save it to my dropbox account that I have shared with others and they can quickly manipulate and remix it uploading it to their own blog or in their document. I [...]

I agree it is everyone’s responsibility to teach the NETS and the skills needed for students to engage in technology adventures.

Kathy,
Great job embeding your own videos. It is not easy lacking the embed video plugin in WordPress. At school we have the plugin and I am very grateful for it. The kids add video quickly and easily.
