Learning about Interactive Whiteboards for the Classroom
Back in April, I researched and blogged about interactive whiteboard tools that are available as online applications. These are great tools for the classroom that are quick and easy to implement, and best of all, they are free or low cost. However, the functionality available with these applications is only a fraction of… Continue

Google Apps for Education vs Microsoft’s Live@edu
One of the first things that struck me about Google’s “Education Edition” of Google Apps was that their informational pages seemed a lot less cluttered than Microsoft’s. You get a cleaner, more precise overview, and while there is some depth to the information and links provided, I didn’t find myself… Continue

Microsoft’s Live@edu versus Google Apps for Education
Both Microsoft and Google offer an evolving set of free online tools specifically for the education community. This week and next we’ll take a brief look at these offerings. I imagine we’ll find a good deal to like about both sets of applications, given the price and ease of a hosted (i.e. Internet based) tool set. Before starting I should add that Microsoft and Google are certainly not the only… Continue

In addition to a brief overview of each site, I have also attempted to define the grade range that each site is applicable to.

Telepresence (this is just too cool!)
“Beam me into that classroom, Mr. Scott!”
It’s kind of hard to believe that this technology may become relatively commonplace before long.
