A little of this and a little of that!!

This blog is a mix of interesting articles, links and artifacts relevant to education. As I interact with educators, students, parents and consultants I am constantly amazed at the resources that are available. While there are many places where you can go and access resources I wanted a blog where I could just talk about some interesting things as they come up. There is really no rhythm or reason to the subject matter. Whatever I find interesting at the time I will post.

A great eBook Publishing website

After spending the day with the Apple Tech guys at the 2011 Spring Apple Tech update I was sold on the iPad. I have been dragging my feet since the first generation iPad came out. Well no more dragging. In addition to eClicker and a number of other resources I found dotEPUB to be one that sold me. I know that a number of the teachers I work with could create digital textbooks with current information not to mention students could use this site to create digital output as a more realistic assessment of knowledge. Check it out for yourself:
