"ASTRONOMERS have discovered what may be five planets orbiting Tau Ceti, the closest single star beyond our solar system, the temperature and luminosity of which nearly match the sun's. If they are planets, one is about the right distance from the star to feature mild temperatures, oceans of water, and even life. Don't pack your bags just yet, though: the discovery still needs to be confirmed."

"When doctors told Amanda Boxtel in the early 1990s that she'd never walk again, they had probably never dreamed of 3-D printing. Now, the woman who was paralyzed from the waist down in a 1992 skiing accident is defying that prediction with the help of a 3D-printed exoskeleton,"

It is nice to see people acknowledge that technology can support both direct instruction and discovery education. Both are important and have a place in the classroom. I also like the idea that the tech director asks what is the teacher's purpose for using technology before answering the question of what apps are available.
