 * What I'd like to learn or get out of this course: Our students have grown up in a different world full of technology and new ways to communicate and collaborate. I need to realize and understand those differences along with ways to adjust my teaching to reach and engage all students. Even as the facilitator, I learn from everyone in this course as we examine where we are in our educational experience and how it affects our students.**


 * My favorite game(s): When my kids were little, we were avid Myst and Zelda fans. We recently purchased a Wii which I use a lot for fitness along with playing various sports games with friends.**
