Great job Beth. What you are doing is great to spread awareness about such a monumental issue that will effect the way we live. Good luck with the workshop.
Beth, Thank you for sharing this workshop with all of us in Smithtown and for setting up this blog so that we can further communicate about this important issue.
The link to "10 Things You Can Do" is a great quick reference for educators as well as students! Together, we can make a difference.
Great website! Another resource is at:

I think it is great that you brought this issue to the forefront on Superintendent's Conference day. It went well with the theme of technology! I enjoyed your presentation and will be incorporating this into my classroom instruction.
Thanks,

Not sure where to post this but I wanted to ask if anyone has heard of National Clicks?
Can someone help me find it?
Overheard some co-workers talking about it all week but didn't have time to ask so I thought I would post it here to see if someone could help me out.
Seems to be getting alot of buzz right now.
Thanks
