@rickweinberg has developed a model lesson using the cell phone, with resources and tips/tricks to use this tool for differentiated instruction.

works in both Firefox and IE, you can now get through your RSS feeds faster by checking off the items you want to read later in more detail. You can then access those saved items from any web browser, whether it's Firefox at home, IE at work, or even your iPhone.

a perfect synthesis of data, ideas, examples and experiences from our PLN (Professional Learning Network)
