Thanks Simmons Techies

Posted by Madalaine Pugliese

Thanks so much to the Simmons "techies" who are blogging. As a frequent early adopter of many classroom learning technologies, sometimes I'm not sure where to look for support. In browsing through the Simmons blogs, and reviewing some of the blogs being posted by Simmons "techies"in particular, it's a great way to feel validated.

Geeze... it's great to know these quirky things are happening to others too! Not only are there blogs about technical challenges, there are also blogs about some next steps thinking.

Great professional development while sipping on my tea!

So.... thanks Simmons "techies" for thinking out loud and sharing your ideas!

This article made me think of how much information about myself I allow others to see online. I can't even count how many social networking sites, forums, and photo sharing sites are a virtual tr ... more »
