(I recently attended the SC Ed Tech 2013 Conference. One of the great reasons I like this conference is that it is in my town so I don’t have to pay for a hotel! The other reason is that I connect with so many other educators. I always pick up something new from a session and if I don’t learn something new, I’m always looking at how the material is presented in order to hone my own presentation skills. This is the last day of my notes that I took from the sessions.)

My Takeaway:
There are so many great tools out there to use in the classroom. These tool can help students overcome the barriers to learning. I like how Cheryl divided them up on her wiki according to the barrier along with the possible solution.
