**GO GREEN, BABY! - You just completed a 3 semester course without having to use a single piece of paper (except for those cheaters :) or being required to print a single thing or file a piece of paper.** ======

=
**In general, you went from a class that was ready to pull their hair out at the end of the day Tuesday, to a cohesive class that collaborated with each other to problem solve and find solutions. That, to me, is what it's all about.** ======

=
**Those that were unsure about themselves and technology often became those that assisted and shared with others. I loved watching that evolution. Can you do it with your students?** ======

=
**Struggling, overcoming adversity and working through problems can often lead to some of the best long-term learning. You certainly did a lot of this :)** ======

=
**You were exposed to a bunch of new tools and their intricacies in 5 days, which many of you were not familiar (and even scared of at times :), and look at what you were able to produce. In reality, it was only about 3 working days and I hardly talked (except of course reflection and discussion :), which included the time to get to know the tools. You were outstanding!** ======

=
**For every tool we use, there are probably 10 others that will do the same thing - including wikis. Find one that works for you.** ======

=
**I hope you are able to really take off with things now and see how you can use some of the week to engage students and teachers. __It's all finding the appropriate media to retrieve and disseminate information in the most efficient and effective manner.__ Don't sell yourself short - you are all leaders and that's a good thing!** ======

=
**I had a wonderful week. Though frustrations occur at times, you learn far more by working through them with others to find a solution than you would had I given you an answer. Man... talk about hands-on! You are a great group and I hope you feel the class was both enjoyable and beneficial.** ======

**Technology is simply one of those tools.**
=**Ultimately what matters is YOU!** =
