About Me:: Instructional Technology Specialist, Monroe #1 BOCES
Rochester, NY

I am growing increasingly more interested in learning networks, how they work and how to best build/facilitate them. I believe every educator should have a network, a blend of online and local learning communities. These may include only educators or students or a mixture of both.

Total Amazed and Overwhelmed
