A little reflection...

There has been a lot of new EduTech portrayed on here this semester and I used Storybird to create a cute little book to reflect on the value of some of the apps I talked about. I was resistant of its charms at first, but I really like it actually! I did mess up though. I signed up as a student and because of that, I can't embed the link on my blog, but I do have a handy link below that will take you to it!

ISBN: 978-0-8028-5385-1 Summary This book chronicles the life of Peter Roget and his love for language that brought us one of the most valuable literary tools in existence.
