Hey All!
Just procrastinating from finishing comments by daydreaming online about summer options! I get regular emails from a friend who loved the workshops at the Teach 21 site.
Anyone game for going to the design thinking workshop? --not that I can tell exactly what it is--but the description is intriguing. I am thinking of signing up for the June date, but I'd love company!
here is the link...( happy comment writing!)

Thanks Carolyn, several folks in my class at Klingenstein did internships at the School at Columbia and loved their experience there.

*Creating your Own E-Book*

Is there a better option for teachers desiring an interactive, up-to-date
resource for their students? YES!
