Happy Holidays to all and a shout out to my VSTE/Edmodo friends @ http://www.vsteconference.org/.
This edition starts with an important opportunity to give input on the new Virginia Computer Technology Standards of Learning. At the November 2012 Virginia Board of Education meeting, VDOE was authorized to proceed with the K-12 Computer Technology Standards of Learning review process.
