We are sitting here in tech class speaking with Will Richardson on Skype!! It's amazing to be able to ask the author of our textbook questions regarding the content of his book. Having him clarify any questions we may have had regarding blogs, wikis, or podcasting was an enlightening experience. This really brought home the concept of using technology as a classroom tool.
