Welcome to My Weblog!

My Photo - Neil Gomes

I plan to use my blog for several purposes.

However, most of my posts will center around technology and the use of technology to enhance teaching and learning.

I intend to post several technology tips from time to time, so you might find this quite interesting if you use technology

I hope you enjoy it.

PS: I also intend to post a few images. I simply love photography and might use this site as an outlet.
