This place began out of a need that I, as a struggling new teacher, have. As a teacher today I am preparing students for a world that doesn't exist yet. It is a fact that many teachers still haven't faced yet. I've dome to realize that the most important thing we can teach out students is how to teach themselves. We are incapable of teaching our students the information they will need to know because few if anyone even knows it yet.
In short as educators today we standon a cliff with rising standards and changing literacy requirements taking our traditional ground from us left and right. In the mean time new tools are being launched constantly to aid us in this feat we are to accomplish, but how do we use them? What are they for? Why bother? These are questions we need to answer for ourselves and for our students. So the plan is to slowly shine a light on the How, the Why and the Why bother's.
Expect a lot of new stuff here in the next couple of weeks. It's the k12online conference. (read as overwhelming amounts of new tools and new interfaces, and new people)
