  • Web 2.0 in Hardcover: A recommended reading list on 2.0 and education
    By Steve Hargadon - 02/01/2010
    I love books, especially the actual physical ones. I madly scribble notes in the margins, and stuff them with related articles as if they were file folders.

How one creates those connections is the question we posed to some insightful social media users. More
  • The Buzz: Tools, trends, and gizmos

    A Whiteboard on any Surface Interactive whiteboards (IWBs) inspire passionate opinions among educators. Now, a product launched by Epson offers a new wrinkle.
