Press release about crosswalk between AASL learning standards and common core.

I have found a new favorite podcast "how to" site. I learned about this a few weeks ago and have been going through a lot of their videos. Common Craft take the old fashioned "paper doll" or puppet theater methodology and basically creates a podcast out of it. Instead of a children's story, they try to explain more difficult concepts. \n\nThe one on Twitter is still their most hit podcast, and it is really great too.\n\nI liked to the podcast on RSS feeds because of my webinar. I was looking for quick ways to get across the concept of RSS feeds and personal learning portals. This podcast helped me to do that. Enjoy!
