=Welcome to the West Hempstead High School Wiki!=

We will be using this wiki (not sure of what a wiki is? Take a look here and here.) to discover, inquire, and determine best practice for the use of technology and learning. Technology needs to be **ubiquitous, invisible, and necessary**. Technology is a tool like a pencil or a book. We will not use all the tools, all the time. We will find the tool that meets the needs of the lesson, unit, and most importantly the learner.

You get five minutes -- you prepare twenty slides, and you get fifteen seconds a slide. The presentation is about school reform, but think about how learning and technology can fit together. I have included the presentation below the video.
