The first is Teachers Using Technology, a new blog fronted by Ryan Betts who is a grad student and teacher planning to share “ways in which [educators] use technology to enhance their craft, and the educational experiences of their students.” The second is Off Campus, a blog by [...]

Just a quick shout-out to some of the Tablet PC world’s most active players over at GottaBeMobile.com. They recently opened up some great discussion forums to the community and they’re already rockin’.

Also, I’m amazed at the [...]

Let’s discuss these add-ins…Update: A video demonstration of the Trip Planner [...]
