I think all of us can relate to this quote! I think we also need to keep this quote in mind as we struggle with our projects, family lives, aching heads (So much info, so [...]

One goal I have for this class is to immerse myself in technology and I always feel if I don’t actively do something, I’ll never learn it.  So, here it goes!  Another goal I have for this class is to have my students use powerpoint for presentations, rather than the traditional essay.  I want to [...]
