 Welcome to Integrating Technology into the Classroom //“Today's kids are born digital -- born into a media-rich, networked world of infinite possibilities. But their digital lifestyle is about more than just cool gadgets; it's about engagement, self-directed learning, creativity, and empowerment. The Digital Generation Project tells their stories so that educators and parents can understand how kids learn, communicate, and socialize in very different ways than any previous generation.”//  Edutopia K-12 Education and Learning Innovations with Proven Strategies that Work– Digital Generation Project, Retrieved September 11, 2011, from []  Fordham University's teacher education program, includes a course in Integrating Technology into the Classroom.
