I have had a great summer.  You can probably tell because I have not been podcasting as regularly as I did during the school year.  Well, I am sorry about that and I am not sorry about that.  I traveled and took time for me.  I kept reading articles and listening to podcasts but I noticed that things were slowing down a bit even for those who are the gurus of Ed Tech.  There were new ideas introduced but mostly podcasts were focusing on pedagogy and using tools that have been available for awhile.  If you are just getting into tech integration that is great but don’t think you are behind.  You are not.

 This episode will focus on student needs assessment, ideas on how to find out where your students are at and where they want to go.  I think the second part is so important and fosters an environment that could help develop other skills, like discussion and collaboration.
