This past June, I attended the ISTE (International Society of Technology Education) conference in San Diego. The annual conference brings over 20,000 folks including educators, administrators, and academics. My purpose for attending, besides catching up on the newest technologies, was to also make a presentation on connecting media literacy education to digital technologies.

While speaking to a friend, he asked, "What if a student doesn't buy into the idea of his own workspace and working on a project?" Good question. Getting the students to buy in is crucial. It has always amazed me that school works at all.
