Why use this Learning Center Approach? In many of our EdTechTeacher iPad workshops, elementary teachers ask what they can do with only a handful of devices in their classrooms. Similarly, we often discussed the role of Interactive White Boards in a class that should be more student-centric. By taking this center approach, teachers can put the technology in the hands of their students, differentiate their instruction, and create multiple opportunities for learning.

The split between what Marc Prensky called “digital natives” and “digital immigrants” in his landmark 2001 article has grown wider every year of this century.

Elizabeth St. Hilaire Nelson: My technique has evolved as a result of experimentation with hand-painted, hand-made, and a wide variety of textured and patterned papers.

Michael Carini’s creative visions illuminate the human condition as he delves into the uncensored depths of his mind and invites you to catch a glimpse of the other side. It is a journey depicted through weaving blasts of light, color, and energy trapped within the boundlessness of space.

English language learners fall into two categories — native speakers and those pursuing it via ESL/EFL instruction (or self-instruction!). But both demographics can build up their skills, no matter their age or proficiency, through game-based learning.

Living on the Future Edge talks about the concept of "disruptive innovation." It’s the natural path of technological development whereby new and improved versions of technology replace the previous versions. In these cases, the newer version is usually a significant improvement in many ways. As the new version carves a niche for itself in our daily routine, the old version is rendered obsolete. This is a continuous process that happens as we research and develop new ideas and also better products and services.
