Came across this post from a technology teacher in Cedar Park, Texas.
Much of what she talks about is the result of a conference she returned from in Austin a couple weeks ago. A conference that I, along with a few thousand other technology teachers, was also at. I even got talked into presenting a couple of sessions. One on Python and one on Alice.
Her point, and one I definitely agree with, is that as teachers we don’t embrace technology when it can be used to enhance the education of our students. I teach computer science so we’re on the computers most every day. But there are subjects that are not forced to use technology, and many times they don’t. And that’s unfortunate. Students are online pretty much 24/7. Even when they’re sitting in class and supposed to be paying attention to us they have their cell phones in their pockets receiving text message from friends.
Tags and categories seem to provide pretty much the same functionality on blogs. The only difference I can see is that a blog typically has…

Nothing against the app. But I can type pretty quickly and it’s frustrating to have to slow down for the little keyboard. Fortunately I have my MacBook with me pretty much 24/7 so I’m giving an offline editor a try.
The one I’m trying right now is a free one called Qumana. It looks like it’s a way to get bloggers to use their ad network, but it doesn’t seem that you have to.
Let’s see how this goes. I’m writing my first blog post from my iPhone. A few months ago I tried the WordPress app version 1…
After using nothing but PCs for the past 15 or so years, getting a MacBook has given me a little more of a learning curve…
Well, I am for now. I noticed Baidu pretty much on a forum of mine 24/7, but I didn’t recall ever seeing them show up…
Didn’t know this was around, but looking for older versions of WordPress to test plugins against I found the WordPress release archive. Looks like you…
