School: a place to find the best within yourself.
The list could go on and on about what school is the place for. However, I like to think that school is where you discover what makes you who you are. It is a place where students are capable to achieve whatever they want to. They figure out what classes they like the best, what subjects they are good at, how they learn, and their interests outside of the classroom. School is the place where students learn how to become productive members of society.  It is a place where they learn social skills, compassion, cooperation, and where they make life long friends.

Interactive maps have become popular in social studies classrooms, and students are keeping up with classroom happenings and announcements through sites like Edmodo or Google Classroom. 2. For the teacher who is cautious about incorporating digital pedagogy, there are many ways to incorporate it in small ways. You can start by using blogging assignments in the classroom. By blogging, students have a safe digital outlet to share their thoughts and expressions. 3. According to the Digital Pedagogy  article, there are various training courses that teachers can take to work to incorporate digital pedagogy in the classroom. These can be found Khan Academy, Udaci...
