Technonauts: Exploring Digital Learning

This monthly series of discussions is intended to stimulate some interesting conversations about your adventures in digital learning. If you've been experimenting with technology in your classes, bring stories of your ideas and successes (and failures) to share so that we can see what others are doing, offer some thoughts and feedback, and (hopefully) learn together from everyone's examples.

Facilitator:
