It’s no secret that we are in a “milieu” of technological growth! As an elementary school teacher, I experience the love children have for technology on a daily basis.

My Guest Friend post (yay, first one!) is going to tie in art and history, so the best of both Cass’s and my world. I first discovered art history in my first week of CEGEP. I had zero idea there was even such a thing: I knew there was art, and I knew there was history, but to put the two together just never occurred to me. I applied to st
