 altTEACHING WITH TECHNOLOGY
                                     
                                       Change is energy.  It drives the future. 

               Change is connections.  The future is created, one connection at a time.

            

              The Lorenz butterfly represents the energy of change and connectedness.

What and how will we need to teach a child of the 21st Century so that child grows up to be fully literate ?  

Explore this essential question with us . . .
as we work to understand the old and new literacies and their implications for learning and teaching with technology across the curriculum.
