Here’s a Public Class on Technology Integration you might be interested in.
Hope you're enjoying the winter break. I was wondering if you, your educator contacts or students would be interested in participating in a nationwide Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. We'd really like to make sure local kids get involved!
You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!
