For Your Holiday List

Thinking and connecting globally is part of being a 21st century teacher and learner. Get ready to connect your classroom to others and ask Santa for a webcam this year. For about $30 and 30 seconds, you can buy a webcam and install it in the classroom. Then when you want to really connect with others, you're set.

If you don't yet have a good memory stick (thumb drive), now is the time to ask for one as a stocking stuffer. There are specials on them this time of year from Rite-Aid to Best Buy. Mention to your students that they make great gifts for them, too. With the occasional issues with Netstorage, the thumb drive eliminates one more homework hurdle.
