b. Exhibit a positive attitude toward using technology that supports collaboration, learning and productivity.
c. Demonstrate personal responsibility for lifelong learning.
d. Exhibit leadership for digital citizenship.

Hi Everyone!

Thank you for attending my session earlier today at the ALT Conference. As requested by some of you, here is another great article (although a few years old) by Will Richardson / Edutopia on the Web2.0 -- I hope you will find some of the information of interest to you.

Will Richardson is the author of the book I mentioned in my presentation: "Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, and Other Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms."

When you have time, I would like to know which one of the 10 tools covered earlier today would be of most interest to you as an educator. I welcome your thoughts!
