How can technology be instruments of

between the rules of
the game and the
freedom to act within
those rules.”

don’t know the answer. We’re in the journey together.
Now the audience are participants. And we see not only
the result but the process.” Marco Torres

What did you contribute to the
learning of others?
137. How are you fostering community in your
classroom?
Are you regularly contributing to the
learning of others both locally and
globally? Does it even matter?
