Richardson (2010) suggests “Before you attempt to bring these technologies to your students, first be selfish about their use in your own learning practice” (p. 8). Richardson (2010) writes, “It wasn’t until I fully understood how these technologies could facilitate global connections and conversations around my own passions, and how they could help me create powerful learning networks and communities, that I was able to see what needed to change in terms of my curriculum and teaching” (pg. 8).
