Exchanging ideas and questions in a meaningful way with other learners – down the block or around the globe – generates great excitement about learning and builds 21st century digital literacy and learning skills. These experiences can be seamlessly integrated into topics across the curriculum and into lessons you already teach – adding an authentic 21st century component.

During the conference we explored this topic in the Sessions (below).  Presented materials and much more information is available under “Description & Material.”  Join the Conversations by going to “Session Discussion.” We encourage you to POST and, even better, upload useful links to your work or to other quality information!
