The winter 2009 issue of Independent School magazine with a theme of Teaching in a  2.0 World looks at different aspects of technology in the lives of our schools and children.

Some articles you'll want to read:

• Many of you are already familiar with "Did You Know?" Here is the most recent version of it. Aside from all of the interesting facts displayed throughout the video, I love the music.

• Another YouTube clip that had over 250,000 hits caught my eye. "A Vision of K-12 Students Today," gives another version of technology and what it means in our schools.
