About time TI did something different with graphing calculators.

Not so sure about the tablet or system, but I do like the resources available that discuss Android apps for schools.

Create your own Android app - Schools are using it to allow students to design apps - http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20130204/NEWS0102/302040049/IN-OUR-SCHOOLS-Local-school-launches-app-class?nclick_check=1

Interesting resource - possibly used in schools?

Recap of this week's keynote at the FETC Conference in Orlando by Jaime Casap, Global Education Evangelist at Google. He told attendees about the ways technology has -- and will continue to -- change K-12 education. Among other things, Casap said technology is causing students to learn in new ways and is providing them with almost constant access to information. The changing landscape, Casap said, makes it even more important for teachers to have access to professional development and for there to be a focus on digital leadership in schools.

Pretty cool stuff - figure the electronic templates could make this techy... :)  Okay, I mostly just think this would be a lot of fun.
