Pinterest has taken off in the past few months. According to a Shareholic study, it exceeds reddit, Google+, Linkedin, and YouTube as a referral source. It may seem as though everyone you know is Pinning something to the online bulletin boards to share their favorite articles, collections, and items available online. This is a great social networking tool that you can use for educational purposes, whether you are a teacher or a student. This tool can make it possible to create boards for specific projects and to collect and share lesson resources. Be sure to see the education page!

"This morning three districts announced that they were going 1:1 next year with Chromebooks, the full sized web appliance from Google. The districts include Council Bluffs, Iowa; Leyden, Illinois; and Richland Two, South Carolina... When planning a high access environment, an important question is tablets or laptops? Tablets, especially iPads, have received a lot of attention recently. They're great for some things, but I still think of tablets as consumption devices and laptops as production devices. Some kids can type on a tab but if teachers want kids to write a lot and to produce media, they need a keyboard. Chromebooks have the instant on and long battery life of tabs but with a full keyboard and the functionality of a laptop."
