Hi! Great to work with you today.

My basic premise is that ICTs can promote Real, Rich and Relevant learning. In addition, newer “web 2.0″ applications can “super-charge” learning even farther. The caveat is that if we don’t take this opportunity, the same applications can be used by students to side-step learning and even threaten their positive experience of life.

Here are some links I think you’ll find helpful:
