Imagine a school with no textbooks as we know them. Imagine your students connected to the Internet, to each other and to you with their digital device -- every day / every class. Imagine kindergartners creating a video and posting it on their own web site.

What may seem like sometime in the future is happening now and being proposed as a reality within the next five years. The challenge has been laid before us -- not only in terms of hardware but also in terms of how we engage students.

You are invited on a journey - a journey to hopefully turn this mountainous challenge into something achievable. This journey will cover various learning resources for you to try with your students. Posts will describe the tool along with examples of how the tool is being used with students.

As you use a tool, please share your experience with others by adding a comment to the page for that tool -- describing how you used the tool, your student's reactions and your impression of the effectiveness of the tool in achieving learning goals. By leaving a comment, you will help everyone have a better understanding of how the tool could be used. Hopefully, these comments will spark ideas for further implementation of digital tools.

This journey is for novices as well as 'old hands'. Come along for the ride and prepare for that constantly connected learning environment.
