Lance Rougeux recently delivered the Keynote at TRETC (Three Rivers Ed Tech Conference) in Western PA. His message....today all students are bilingual.
His presentation had tons of cool data: Alexia.com's top site ranking for 2007...Guess which site is in the top 10 up 6 spots? Facebook...Great sites for connecting to kids' brains which are "plugged in" 6 1/2 hours a day (how long do they spend in school...hmmm) voicethread, moonk, and mosaickr were 3 that stood out to me....and he gave us as educators a new job....learn this 2nd language!
wnt 2 git yor students 2 relate 2 wot iz hapNn n yor claS @ skul? Try DIS..
