Purpose As educators and technologists, the more we can share information and collaborate, the more we and the students/teachers we serve benefit. This website exists to further the goal of providing opportunties for educators to learn from each other's experiences. I am not updating these webpages regularly as I once did, but I do try to respond to questions and now post technical support tips as "the IT Guy" for Technology and Learning magazine online.
