"I'm not like my dad, I don't have a web site."

"I'm not like my dad, I don't have a web site."

Using Prentation Zen in the classroom

Using Prentation Zen in the classroom

I’ve always believed that getting teachers into this connected world will slowly trickle it’s way down to affect student learning…and today I proved myself right. The 3rd grade is getting ready to open their market place where they will sell their homemade goods. One of their requirements is to create an ad to be shown on the SmartBoard when their […]
