This website is intended to help bridge the gap between the technology and learning. It is not about the stuff - you can have an engaging activity or lesson without any technology - the goal is to provide learning opportunities that use technology to raise the level of critical thinking, problem-solving, and 21st Century skills. If you are interested in a training session or workshop at your school or for your district, please contact me at creagh@inteched.org This website will continue to grow and evolve as resources are shared and created.
