Project for Ed Tech

This group assignment for Ed. Tech was very challenging for both the group members and myself. It was interesting to see what all the students could do with a little collaboration, patience and courage. It made a difference in what we know and how much more there is to learn about technology. I enjoyed and I had fun in the midst of all the frustration. Learning is continuous. Continue to learn folks.
