A.R. (augmented reality) - did a training at ISTE
“Is it a gadget or is it a tool?”
Don’t say you can’t, when there are so many ways you can
Tech Training

You can either complain about it or be part of the solution
Hopeful
Hopeful that kids will talk about education before and after COVID. Don’t forget, make the distinction. Hopefully there is a defining difference.
