Few Facts about myself:

What I'd like to learn or get out of this course: I would like to learn about some new ways to engage my students by incorporating technology into my lessons. I would like to explore what new and exciting kid-friendly resources are out there. My goal is to create lessons that involve student use of technological tools that are interactive and engaging for them, but also simple to implement.

My favorite game(s): My favorite game is Catch Phrase. I also love Cranium. Although I am considered a "Digital Native," I prefer board games to video games.
