BRING YOUR OWN DEVICE TO CLASS
Attention students:
In keeping up with the 21st Century learning environment, I will be experimenting with technology in our classroom for the entire week of April 15, 2013. All students are encouraged to bring a technology device of their choice to class. These devices can include: iPhones, cell phones, iPads, tablets of various kinds, computers, Netbooks, iPods, e-readers, MP3 players and even PDAs.
