Hi All,
Here's an opportunity for anyone interested in writing model lessons for
incorporating technology in teacher training programs. I was a reviewer
for some of the lessons for infusing technology into the curriculum to map
to the new tech standards, and these folks are really trying to provide
solid, practical advice to the profession. Those of you in teacher
training would be wonderful assets to this group.
