A3: How can I answer this in 280 characters? I can't, so I'll have to settle for this. There are SO MANY apps, tools, extentions, and as Ts, one of our jobs is to keep exploring them to help Ss. Follow @ericcurts, @shakeuplearning and @jrsowash to keep up to date. #patinsicam
A4: A student's whole day could exist in this one place with a teacher scaffolding them discretely. It also makes a mighty amazing portfolio. #PatinsIcam

A9: Google is quickly catching up to other screenreaders with their Chrome Vox built in accessibility. This allows students in Chromebook schools to use what everyone else is using. Make sure you get a chromebook that has some extra processing heft for this feature! #PatinsIcam
