A good read. How would you respond?

Two business men who are creating education apps and supporting students who are creating education apps have begun "The App Evaluation Program for Schools" which allows teachers to test educational apps for kids for free. "The apps, which cover everything from math, spelling, and reading to language learning, storyboard building, and puzzles, are provided by developers around the world and sent to teachers two or three times per month. Teachers receive a questionnaire after testing the app as a way to help developers improve, but Larsson stresses they are not required to fill it out."

Seems like a nice way for teachers to get new iPad educational apps free to evaluate and then use if they find them valuable

Great read as we begin a new year.

Great resource for having kids read along with videos or movies, and discuss what is different between the printed word and the screen.

Important reading for all educators, especially those interested in preparing our students for life in today's ever-changing landscape.

You can read online or download. Interesting points. Same day as National Tech Plan.

CITED's Lessons Learned for Effective Technology Implementation   Learn ways to address the challenges of integrating technology into the classroom. Hear from district leaders and read the most up-to-date research about effective methods to make technology an integral part of learning in this CITEd article.

CITEd seems like a smart, helpful organization. I like this piece and also their site in general. I wonder how many other organizations/sites are out there like this and what is the best way to choose a small number to follow/use for our technology work.

A neat place to read and share writing everything from cookbooks to tech papers to brochures.... Check it out!
