A Tale Of Two Stories
This is a look at the eLearning coach (Connie Malamed)’s Learning Technology Trends To Watch In 2011.

Cheers,

I agree with both of you. i wonder if she is a teach teacher just trying to encourage her “troops” to look at tech alternatives in the classroom?
THANK YOU for the great voicethread link…We are looking at e-portfolios at work at the moment…so this a great example for my “troops”.
