Educators say:
• "I learned how to use new technology and Internet sites in my classroom. I wish I had known this 8 years ago when I started teaching."
• "I liked interacting with students and using the Flip video cameras. I like the varied presentation styles and the many interactive activities. I learned to look at my teaching in a deeper way and to be more comfortable with technology."
• "I liked how much we participated in hands-on activities to validate our learning."
• "Up until this point, my educational strategy to improve student literacy has been mainly text-focused. I am now going to make strategic attempts to teach literacy through a variety of media such as video and the Internet.
