Making Connections

It is amazing how many people are willing to help you. Working through the Library2Play activity this summer I commented on a post by a teacher in Australia who has recently started podcasting with her students. I told her about our project and she offered any help and suggestions based on her own experience. If you are interested in checking out her blog, it is Teaching and Learning in the Digital Age. Happy exploring.
