Great Blog Post about Google + Apple

I've long said that Google and Apple should get together and have a baby. A Gapple. Or perhaps an Appgle. Or a Goople? Whatever you'd call it, both companies offer some amazing products for the classroom that would be better off working together instead of against each other.

My friend and fellow Apple Distinguished Educator, Chad Kafka (who is also a Google Certified Teacher), has written this informative yet persuasive blog post that eloquently calls for a union between these two tech giants. He brings up many good points and shares some interesting facts about their relationship. After reading it, all I could say was, "Yeah! What he said!"

Take a look and join the cause!

Sites Worth Seeing!

I just returned from an invigorating week at the Apple Distinguished Educator Institute in Phoenix. There were many interesting conversations, enlightening ideas and refreshingly varied points of view. I learned a lot from the diverse group of educators present, and truly hope I can keep in touch with them.

Coming home with pages and pages of websites, apps, and ideas, I have only had time to read through a few thus far, but promise to share as I go through everything. Here are the three I've already been able to check out -- so far, so amazing. These three educators have a lot of helpful hints, new ideas and great energy to share. Please take a look!

I'm So Excited... and I Just Can't Hide It!

Recently I was honored to be named an Apple Distinguished Educator. In joining this amazing group of educators, I am able to attend the week-long ADE Institute this summer in Phoenix, AZ. As one of over 150 past and present K-12 and collegiate-level ADEs attending from all over the country, I will spend this week analyzing and creating digital content, considering how to evolve classroom practice through technology and examining the effect of digital devices on a district level.

I leave on Sunday and my head is already swimming with questions, excitement and ideas to explore while with these innovative educators. I don't really have a purpose for this blog post except to say that I am really, really excited... and that I can't wait to post again once I return with all of the amazing things I learn.

Wish me luck!
