Here's a piece I wrote on my own blog the other day when Josh created this blog.

Technology, Teaching, and Digital Imposterism

Has everyone upgraded to iOS7? Do you like it, or is it pretty much the same for your purposes? 

SAMR thinking

Another quickie so we think about the SAMR model (substitution/augmentation/modification/redefinition) and where you are all working on that continuum. Here's a link to a math teacher's blog post about this which has a nice overview: http://journeyto1-1math.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-samr-model.html And an image for humanities folks to use:

Starting out

I thought I'd start this blog as a way to get us all sharing our experiences. You can set this to ping your email every time there's a new post...do so, and you'll get the latest and greatest from all of us pretty much in real time!

I'm going to share an app I'm playing with called Textilus.  It's a rich text format creation and editing app that claims to be able to move seamlessly between the app and Word/Pages/etc because all those programs translate RTF easily.  It seems, well, rich...there are ways to add bullets, bold, underline,  and all the other features you would like to have in a word processing program as well as multiple fonts, etc.  It also seems to have the ability to add pictures if you have the premium version ($4.99)...maybe worth it.  I even wrote this in Textilus, transferred it to a Word document and then put it up here!
