Teaching and Learning in the Digital Age

I love digital scrapbooking as a way to record my journey.  Using an ordinary digital camera, you can have access to selections of images that reflect a day, a week or a moment.  As someone once said:  “Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away”.  Here is a collection of some of my favourite free digital scrapbooking sites:
