Wicked Decent Learning
Wicked Decent Learning explores issues relevant to teachers in Maine and the world beyond the Vacationland borders. Hosted by two practicing public educators, WDL features a weekly discussion followed by technology integration tips, media integration ideas, book talks and a 'Didja See?' segment about the week in education news. And no show would be completely without a few tangents and a healthy dose of shenanigans. Contact Wicked Decent Learning at www.wickeddecentlearning.blogspot.com or wickeddecentlearning@gmail.com
