Do you have a great idea to share with fellow ELA teachers to integrate technolgy in the English/Language Arts classroom? Please share! Any great articles, lessons, or even testimonials on things you've done would be great information! I am not an English teacher, but will, from time to time, post things that I feel may help you integrate technology into your classroom. I do ask that if/when you post something that warrents, please make sure you "site your source"! :) A brief explanation of any outside link would be helpful as well! The possibilities are endless. I'm excited so let's get started!!!
