Video on The Benefits of Co-Teaching: A Blast from 2005

But the experience of being a second teacher in the content-area classroom when I wore this hat? That’s some good fodder […]

Here’s a 2-minute snippet from a presentation I gave to parents to launch our 1:1 Apple Laptop initiative back in August. I simply explain Clustrmaps by showing it on a blog with world-wide readers….written by […]
