I love Planbook. I have used it for the past two years and am going to link worksheets to it this year so students can have them at home.

Brilliant.org article - 7/23/13 - NPR

A great reminder of why we use technology in the classroom. Check out the posters at the bottom of the post. Great for inservice........

Saw this the other week and made it my desktop as a reminder.

Video clips from a fascinating look at the future of computing by Doug Engelbart - circa 1968 - Thanks Cindy Krueger!

Not so much a technology post, but think it over - giant outdoor bananagrams...  Okay, I mostly thought Sallie would enjoy this one, but perhaps others could make use of it.  It'd be a good first day of school activity as well.

Love it!!! Thanks for sharing!

John Dorn originally shared on G+:   I just tried the Movenote app for the first time and I love it. You can easily take a webcam video of yourself to show and explain documents. The app shows the documents and video side by side. You also have the ability to perform some annotation of your documents during the presentation. Very slick. 

I use this little trick to keep my Drive, SkyDrive, and Dropbox in sync with each other.  Works wonderfully.

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.

Powerful devices! Are they the solution for wireless enabling WELS schools?
