One of the hardest thing with using the iPad/iTouch/iPhone in the classroom is finding the time
Had the opportunity tonight to take part in a chat on Twitter, focusing on technology integration. It was a collective group of people, from ALL over, who had a vested interest in sharing and collaborating with other educators on the topic of…technology integration.
