I know a person who could have said these words first-- if Eleanor didn't beat her to it. Her name is Meg Ormiston, and her passion lies solely on transforming teaching and learning through the power of digital tools. She is an author (Conquering Infoclutter and Digital Storytelling with Power Point), a retired school board memeber, an adjunct professor, blogger, consultant, a keynote speaker, a successful grant development specialist, and a mom. All of her credentials might make Meg seem a little intimidating; however, I believe she is just the opposite--and that's why I like her. I'll be the first to admit that I'm far from being technology savvy, but I'm willing to learn. One of the problems I have encountered, though, is finding a person that can speak my language. I don't need a show-off. I need someone who really wants to help me master the art of technology in the classroom--and not only for me, but for the benefit of my students. Meg Ormiston does just that. If you don't believe me, just look her up yourself:

And when you read her words, listen to the excitement in her voice. It's contagious. Makes ya want to go and become an updated teacher.
