Here is your opportunity to join workshops that will open your eyes, provide the skills and expertise for global collaboration and digital citizenship, and move you into the 21st Century using Web 2.0 and online collaborative project pedagogy that embraces global interactions.
Vicki Davis and I are excited to be working together again this coming June and July in the USA! It is only once or twice a year that we are able to be in the same room at the same time.
This year we are offering workshops at the ISTE conference in Denver and at the MICDS 2010 Summer Teacher Institute for Technology and Curriculum Innovation.
