Kick off!**
Started Tuesday, July 5th shared via Lisa's New Teacher Blog on Edutopia.org On the blog we will continue to share the following for each tool explored :


 * 1) Tool Name.
 * 2) What the tool is.
 * 3) Examples of the tool:how it looks.
 * 4) How to use in the classroom with students: potential feedback!

Participants will learn about one educational technology tool a week through //video and blog post//. ==>>(Update: Webinar is planned for Week 5 of our bootcamp!) Then teachers will be asked to do some practice lessons before developing a way to use it, on their own.

** Keep Connecting Online **
As a group, participants will then be able to brainstorm ways to integrate these tools into the classroom in creative and engaging ways. // In addition they will be able to join this wiki,create their own page and have a digital portfolio of their work. //

Organizers will comment as often as possible to support your work.
(This wikispace was designed specifically for the five-week workshop to allow for group participation and collaboration.)
