A fusion of art and technology is the answer to realizing the NETS. This potent combination naturally creates opportunities for creativity, innovation, communication, higher-order thinking, differentiation, and tech literacy.

Good video to explain Twitter with teachers as a PLN.

A very visual social bookmarking site. The colors and "tiles" are great for primary students who may not be able to read textual links.

is a free Windows-based program that anyone can use to create video games without writing code. The drag and drop interface relies on users being able to manage "if/ then" scenarios to design a rich gaming experience.
