  • Build Your PLN

    by Miguel Guhlin (Find me on Plurk/Twitter at “mguhlin”) As a educator, probably one of the tougher challenges you face isn’t just keeping up with the technology, but rather understanding how to leverage it in your teaching and learning situation. While in the past, we were limited by the occasions that served as “learning experiences,” in…

So, I would like to start by first telling a story, and tomorrow a photo!, he would never share with you, his faithful readers! Let us descend back into that time before high speed access to the Web was ubiquitous, to a shadowy…
