Happy 2009!\u00a0\u00a0 Just wanted to jot a quick note to you my readers.\u00a0 Thank you for your continued support and encouraging words, they truly keep me going!\u00a0 When I started teaching technology, I had a hard time finding a comprehensive website for free technology resources in the classroom.\u00a0 I knew there were great free resources\u00a0 out there because I stumbled upon them all the time.\u00a0 What I really hoped for was a place that didn’t just give me a list of links to great websites for the classroom, but a place that gave me a snapshot of the site, and some useful tips for using that site with students. \u00a0 I started collecting all of the sites that I was finding in my Google notebook.\u00a0 One day my husband suggested that I start a blog so that other teachers could have access to the sites I was finding and notes I was taking on them.\u00a0 That was the beginning of iLearn Technology.\u00a0 Now, two years later, I have readers on almost every continent and I hear encouraging stories from you about how you integrate technology into your classrooms.\u00a0 You are an inspiration to me, I hope that iLearn Technology continues to be a valuable resource for you!\u00a0 Keep sharing your success stories and ideas, I love to hear them!\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

This year I have a few new resources in the works.\u00a0 I am currently developing curriculum, specifically for Mac schools (woot!) but it could be adapted for any computer classroom.\u00a0 I will be selling the curriculum bundled or as individual lessons.\u00a0 Even if you aren’t a computer teacher, some of the lessons will be perfect for technology integration in the classroom.\u00a0 I also hope to come out with my second issue of the iLearn ezine focused on Macs in education sometime in January.\u00a0 In this issue I focus on using iPods in education and project based learning.\u00a0 As always I will be posting new ideas for free technology integration daily right here. \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

I wish you all a blessed New Year!<\/span><\/p>\n
