Northeast School Division Wiki for all things Web 2.0 and computerish.

Welcome to the überShare Wiki - educational resources for use in ICT. In an attempt to take a collaborative approach to Infusing Learning Technology into the Classroom we have begun a wiki that all can post resources, ideas and student projects and samples to. This is a joint project begun between the Horizon School Division and North East School Division. This resource is for anyone to use and add to. It is hoped that this resource would be an ongoing resource for any teacher not just the teachers who have begun its creation! This is for you!
