    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.
