Technology
I attended the Tech Feast for two years and loved every minute. It's
amazing how many new things you can learn in one week. This is my second
year as a Feast Trainer.
I think the best thing about teaching and technology is sharing ideas.
One person will never think of everything on their own, so take someone
else's idea and make it your own and make it work for you and your
students!
