Simple answer: it is about service…

Mike and I are kickin’ it in Denver this week for ISTE 2010.  We will be blogging and tweeting all week here but I wanted to share a brief experience that I believe is a model of how a company keeps it customers.

I usually purchase a summer tech toy, something that I can play with [...]

Typing on the iPad… using the Apple Bluetooth Keyboard

Greetings from my iPad, which is becoming a device that I am grabbing much more than my MacBook for a wide variety of tasks.

Two tech-savvy alternatives to the ubiquitous flash drive…

I purchased my first flash drive in 2003 while teaching in another district. I was assigned to 5 different classrooms throughout the day and I was digging out my laptop for three of those periods (and hooking it up to a TV in each room!) and using the desktop machine in the other two.
