    "There are two areas where technology can optimize learning better than any other educational strategy. I'm not talking about iPads or laptops or apps. I mean how you deliver your message--done in such a way that more students are able to achieve their goals. .. The first is problem solving.

The challenge for students is to analyze what's available and select the tool that uses their learning style. .. You're probably thinking that before students can use these fancy tools, you have to learn all of them--and teach them. Where's that sort of time come from--and by the way, you aren't one of the 'techie' teachers. Do I have good news for you. The ideas below require very little prep
