5 Opportunities to Get iPods & iPads Into Your Classroom
Educators often question how they can acquire iPods and iPads to use in their own classrooms, especially when so many districts are experiencing serious budget crunches. Many feel that that it just isn’t possible because their districts don’t have the money or don’t believe mobile technology is worth investing in. I know how you feel; I have been there.

Abroad Languages Blog & Blog Archive & Stepping Out From a Typical English Language Learning
Image via Wikipedia Teachers are very influential persons; do you agree with this? There is really a complete sense of influence among teachers towards their students because they are naturally in the authority to impart things. So whether the teacher teaches correct or incorrect things, the students will learn from it. This is but one perilous fact when teachers impart “the wrong” things among their students. But not all cases are actually like this.
Commit to 14 Hours of PD
As the summer draws to a close, your calendar is likely packed with Back-to-School events and classroom preparation.
