This not-so-complete picture has really became apparent in today's generation. Unfortunately, we have literally been fed countless misconceptions into what we can and can't put into our bodies. The fact of the matter is that it's not about… Continue

Virtual Classroom

Our work has certainly come a long way this year. In our short time working in this space (since only September 2009) we have attracted quite a bit of attention for our open approach to learning.  Your sharing, reflection and synthesis have earned two nominations for Edublogs awards in as many years.  Impressive is a good word.In the thread below, please reflect upon our use of free, open online tools to enhance our classroom this year. I'm always proud of how your work ends up being all about…See More
