I am also interested in using technology with our students. I would love to put an iPad in every child's hand. Cost is always an issue however. Thank you for your research.

I feel that hyperlinks are very important. I like the fact that I can basically tag the information with a hyperlink and the viewer can click on that link rather than having to write out the whole article or work. I also like the exercise of using the sticky notes and yarn to show the connection between them all. Very neat post.

Traditionally, most good writers in English are linear thinkers (my English and History education majors had the most trouble with linking because it was non-linear). I really like the sections you have on teaching how to think/write non-linear. It is the equivalent of the traditional outline which is a helpful tool for non-linear writers (in the past identified as disorganized, poor writers).
