Happy New Year from NCCE and the Tech-Savvy Teachers!  We hope you had a great holiday break and join us in being FIRED UP for an awesome 2015!

We have great things in store for the blog, conference and professional development for this year, but, want to get you started with a look back to 2014 and look forward to 2015!

Last week, I sat on in a Google Hangout discussion with two excellent tech-savvy teachers… Eric Langhorst and Wes Fryer… to discuss technology in the classroom in 2014 and what to look for in 2015!
