Welcome to the Ed Tech Blog

A blog is a journal of sorts. It's free, accessible to anyone with access to the internet and a place to post news and information that is important (or not.)

Think of how this might be used in the classroom - It's where students are spending their time - meet them on their turf.

Check back here often for trends in technology in the classroom and specifically what is happening with technology at RCTC.
