Where to Begin
As a person changing careers to become a teacher, and having been removed from Silicon Valley for a decade now, I was impressed in viewing your blog at how much technology has changed and at how effectively you represent technology applications through your blog. In your teaching career, have you found any particular technology medium for teaching in the classroom which you would say has become indispensable and an integral tool to include in classroom learning.
I can’t point to a specific tool, Kevin, but I can say that the lens that I try to use technology includes the questions of: how does this help the learning objectives, is it accessible and usable for all my students and will it help my students become “composers” of writing with these new tools?
Good luck on your own journey
Kevin

Thank you so much for the kind words about the ebook. It was truly a pleasure to put it together. I learned a lot from the other contributors and I hope all of your readers do too.
All the best,
