"Book Wizard is a Scholastic service that allows you to create and organize book lists according to reading levels and students' interests. Book Wizard Mobile is a free iPad, iPhone, and Android app that you can use to scan a book's barcode to quickly discover its lexile measurement, grade level equivalent, and guided reading level. Within the app you can create book lists and edit the existing book lists that you have created in your Scholastic.com teacher profile."

"This afternoon our family made the 6 hour trek on I-27 and I-40 back to Oklahoma City from Lubbock, Texas, and my eight year old ran out of chapter books to read about halfway home. In this post, I'll describe how we discovered a developmentally-appropriate, free eBook to download on an iPad and some of the things this process highlighted with respect to copyright and eBooks."

"If you want to learn to program, you don't need lessons. You need to write a lot of code and have a great time doing it. That's what programming is about. It's gotta be fun. Not fun like yay a badge but fun like NO MOM I HAVE TO FINISH THE LEVEL! That's why CodeCombat is a multiplayer game, not a gamified lesson course. We won't stop until you can't stop--but this time, that's a good thing. If you're going to get addicted to some game, get addicted to this one and become one of the wizards of the tech age."

"Just as many other technological advancements, Artificial Intelligence came to our lives from the pages of fairy tales and fiction books (think of the Tinman from The Wizard of Oz or Maria from Metropolis). People dreamt about machines able to solve problems and release some of the fast-compounding pressure of the 21st century. Less than 70 years from the day when the very term Artificial Intelligence came into existence, it's become an integral part of the most demanding and fast-paced industries. Forward-thinking executive managers and business owners actively explore new AI use in finance and other areas to get a competitive edge on the market. More often than not, we don't realize how much Artificial Intelligence is involved in our day-to-day life. "

"Along with our Director of Admissions I have been working on an iBook guide for our school. One thing she asked me to do was incorporate a virtual tour of the campus. I told her that I didn't know how to do that, I thought it was beyond my ability level (after all, I'm no programmer, those people are like wizards to me). She wouldn't let it go so I spent some time trying to figure it out."
