Joey has done an outstanding job capturing the whirlwind "tour" that we have been on for the past few of months. His energy (as is keenly reflected in his latest mentor report) surges through everything he does, so much so, that he even has the power to invigorate more "seasoned" tech mentors like myself. It is truly a privilege to work along side him. He has captured the essence of our teaching during the past couple of months with his report (although, as always, he gives far too much credit to the "elder" member of his team).

Being the "more experienced" member of the team, I am going to exercise "seniority privileges" to create a link for this tech mentor report page to two other sites in Wikispaces. The first link will take you to Joey's Report. Fasten your seatbelts and get ready to feel the energy!

The second will take you to another site that is more refective in nature - a site named Global Village. Although this site will be somewhat more personal in nature, I hope it also serves as a platform for younger teachers to appreciate the potential we have to connect to, and learn from, other students and teachers in the world. Technology truly has provided us with numerous platforms for global interactions. It has allowed our Professional Learning Community to expand to the farthest points on this planet. It has "flattened" Earth. Most importantly, it has given teachers and students the opportunity to not only connect with their colleagues and peers throughout the world, but to also influence, in more dramatic and powerful ways, the directions that will be taken by this world in the future!
