5. A Wikispaces Account  Go to: teacherdolphins. wikispaces.com  Sign Up for a wikispace using the K-12 link

6. My Big “Ah-ha(s)”  We are now in the 21 st Century…this means something! Every child in our school today was born into a technological, digital world. I was not. I am a digital immigrant; they are digital natives.  We are not preparing students to live in the world we were born into, the world we were raised in, or the world we were educated in. Our reality is not their reality. It is my job to prepare them to be flexible problem-solvers and collaborators in this unpredictable future.
