This is a blog set up by several students from all over the country and even the UK. A great blog to hear from the students! Many of the blogs listed above, blogged about this blog. This is what the students who "own" the blog say, "We are students: the ones who come to school every day, raise our hands with safe questions, and keep our heads down. Except, now we have a voice—a strong voice—to share our ideas through a global network." Pretty powerful!

Technology in Education isn't the Future...It's the Present!   (1.14.09)

SMeech

Welcome to my Blurkitter. A blurkitter is a combination (or mashup) of blogging, Twitter and Plurk. I have found that twitter tends to serve my personal needs a little more than full time blogging. Thus, I am combining my blog and Twits into my own blitter. As always... My philosophy stays true... Technology in Education isn't the Future... It is the Present!
