blendedlearner: Webquests for Science

Using technology in the classroom to enhance students learning. How much do you use technology? Click Here to take survey. Death by PowerPoint is a sad and unnecessary thing. A wise person once said to me 'never use PowerPoint to deliver text to an audience'. I often wish I had heeded the advice.
