Remember your question to us at the beginning of the training. “Would it help if I could give you a technology tool that everyone could learn to use very quickly even if you don’t know anything about technology?” I wondered when you said that how it could be done. Well, you did it and it has proven to be effective many times over with an unbelievable ripple effect as it is touching special education, ESL students, recent immigrants, parents of autistic children, and on and on.”

Chavez, Jr. All rights reserved. 17 To "learn from experience" is to make a backward and forward connection between what we do to things and what we enjoy or suffer from things in consequence. Under such conditions, doing becomes a trying; an experiment with the world to find out what it is like; the undergoing becomes instruction--discovery of the connection of things. -John Dewey, Democracy and Education, 1916
