Welcome to our Wikitechbook 

As a Technology for Educators class, we are devoloping and maintaining our own textbook, summarizing and supporting our ideas with Internet links to articles, blogs, pictures, podcasts, audio and video clips, and other gadgets available from pbwiki or google. This wiki will be a place where students can put research tips and information to share with the class and engage in quiz-yourself-questions for the final exam.
