Welcome to my Educational Technology Wiki for 21st Century Learning // **This wiki is available to all who wish to explore "21st Century Digital Learning".** // It is full of ideas, resources, and examples of the uses of contemporary technologies in today's classrooms-- to help guide your own personal ed-tech journey, __ and __ to assist you in learning practical ways to use and incorporate some of the new mobile technology into your classroom/curriculum.

//** About the space **// I started this space while obtaining my Masters degree in Instructional Technology, as a place to store resources and information relating to the adoption of technology for 21st Century teaching and learning. It expanded to include some of my original work with the **//Penncrest Technology Study Group (RTM District)//**, from which emerged my **//"Cyber Sandbox Workshops"//**. Today, it remains as my digital "brain dump" and a place for sharing and showcasing ways to use technology and web 2.0 tools to build student-centered, active, and authentic learning experiences for students.

 * Some of my favorite EdTech quotes:**
 * "If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you always got." ~Henry Ford
 * "If we're going to serve the kids, we've got to make time for educators to talk to one another." ~Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach
 * "The principal goal of education is to create men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done." ~Jean Piaget
 * "Teachers need to integrate technology seamlessly into the curriculum instead of viewing it as an add-on, an afterthought, or an event." ~Heidi-Hayes Jacobs
 * "The last few decades have belonged to a certain kind of person with a certain kind of mind--computer programmers who could crank code, lawyers who could craft contracts, MBAs who could crunch numbers. But the keys to the kingdom are changing hands. The future belongs to a very different kind of person with a very different kind of mind--creators and empathizers, pattern recognizers and meaning makers. These people-artists, inventors, designers, storytellers, caregivers, consolers, big picture thinkers--will now reap society's richest rewards and share its greatest joys." ~Daniel Pink
 * “Any growth requires a temporary loss of security.” ~Madeline Hunter
 * “Do not confine your children to your own learning for they were born in another time.' ~Hebrew Proverb
 * "I am always doing what I cannot do, in order to learn how to do it." ~Pablo Picasso
 * "Technology should be like oxygen: ubiquitous, necessary, and invisible." ~Lehmann, Chris
 * "Once a new technology rolls over you, if you're not part of the steamroller, you're part of the road." ~Stewart Brand
 * "The illiterate of the 21st Century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn." ~Alvin Toffler
 * "Any teacher that can be replaced by a computer, deserves to be." ~David Thornburg
 * "We need to replicate in the classroom the world in which students are living." ~Unknown
 * "'Learning' is the free and open source version of ‘education.'" ~Cathy Davidson
 * "The status quo is the enemy and will not take us where we need to be to thrive in the hyper-competitive … global economy." ~Tom Watkins
