Dallas McPheeters (dallasm12)'s Public Profile in the Diigo Community

Researching the integration of technology in education.

I am interested in How to stimulate learning within a mashup culture of uncertainty facing an unknown future.. My favorite music are Classical,World,70s. Movies: Shawshank Redeemption. TV: Seinfeld. Books: Dancing Wu Li Masters. My Heros are Those who overcome seemingly impossible odds..

I use Diigo because Research demands its use and best practices demand it utility.
