Smart.fm - almost enough to make me want an iPhone

I really don't want an iPhone. I'm holding out for a Droid, just as soon as I figure out some way to justify getting rid of my perfectly adequate BlackBerry. However, the iPhone has lots of apps and one in particular is being unveiled today: Smart.fm's iPhone interface...

This is one area where educational technology is both useful and utterly necessary, providing the tools for...

Additional Resources

Getting your teachers started with 1:1

Yesterday I wrote about the potential of 1:1 for improving literacy in our schools. However, as we integrate laptops more and more into classroom time, teachers frequently ask for simple ways to get started. How do they use these new resources for something more than glorified word processors...

I've discovered a reason to like Windows: Chrome

My youngest son stole my Ubuntu-loaded convertible Classmate last week and is primarily using it so that we can email each other and talk on Skype while I'm in Miami. It also has his RTI software loaded on it, so I figured I'd grab one of the Windows Classmates...

While I may talk about broader issues in technology (social media, for example, or Google's latest and greatest), it's usually in the context of how they might impact students...
