My stories recaptured a time long gone – a time filled with innocence, happiness, sadness, and lots of love. There are no ‘rights or wrongs’ for my story is mine alone.

It is a continuous morphing that evolves everyday right along with my understanding of the changing nature of 21st century literacy. I will be sharing with you a 21st century classroom wired with twenty-eight wireless laptops, Web 2.0 technologies, and a Smart Board. I am only the facilitator of this portal; you will be the constructors of your own knowledge via rigorous and relevant student-centered activities. <br />I am waiting for you. <br />Surprise me. Amaze me. Startle me. Challenge me. <br />Try me. Laugh with me. <br />Love me. <br />Teach me in "the key of life," <br />And I promise,<br />I'll surprise, amaze, startle, challenge, try, <br />Enjoy and love YOU! <br /><em>excerpt from</em> <blockquote>Teach Me in the Key of Life</blockquote> by Mimi Brodsky Chenfeld<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6089495660882705562-7988417683933969148?l=707digitalnatives.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Teacherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11534443601134605836noreply@blogger.com5
