I'm a junior at GCU :). I'm an Early Childhood Education major and cannot wait to graduate! This is my first time using a site like this so I hope I enjoy it! I love just about everything and am open to change.

Club for students to become leaders for technology! Teachers provide training on troubleshooting and other tools used for curriculum. I can see this really being interesting to students who want to learn/be active with technology. http://www.newschooltechnology.org/2011/10/introducing-tech-stars/

A teacher at a community college noticed that students know more when the teacher talks less. The discovery of e-books and how successful they have been! This would be a good experiment to test in the classroom, especially if the success rate increases. :) www.educationworld.com/a_tech/tech/tech214.shtml
