Loving New Learning
I had an awesome three days last week attending the Texas Computer Educator Association's yearly conference. I have learned so many new things that it is almost too much to think about! There are so many things I want to share right now, but my plan is to share great things I've found with you weekly along with general technology tips. Hope you enjoy!
