As Sallie was Googling at the Summit at WLC, I was presenting at a one to one conference down the road at CUW. We explored the philosophy in connection to the possiblities offered by chromebooks, tablets, etc. In my research, Dave Tess and Jason Schmidt came through with some information on the latest chromebooks and their inability to project easily through VGA projectors. This is another reason that chrombooks can't be considered a teacher's main device, IMHO. Also, this information impacts purchasing of classroom projectors for the future.

This app from the chrome store can be used on chrome browser, chromebook, iPad, or iphone. Sync. If you already use drop box this is a must. OPen the app and you can start a new document or open one from your drop box or google drive and start working. Makes data flow in the ipad world a snap.
