Wed, 29 Feb 2012 10:09:05 -0800

Mozilla announced Boot2Gecko at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. They are proposing it as an Open Web platform that will utilize running your apps on freely available platforms such as HTML5 and JavaScript. While this is being bandied about for cell phone devices, just think what it could mean for bringing down tablet prices for the education sector.

It’s only February, and it is well worth being slightly behind, so I wanted to direct you to the Center for Performance and Learning Technologies list of Top 100 Tools for Learning in 2011. Although you may be familiar with a number of the tools, you may not have heard about StoryBird. StoryBird allows for collaboration on writing a story with wonderful illustrations. As such, it not only provides a great outlet for budding authors, but for aspiring illustrators, as well. Check out The Trouble with School Is by lneumann with illustrations by Irisz Agocs , a whimsical story about learning with equally whimsical drawings. If you have used StoryBird in a unique way, drop me a line and let me know so that I can share it with the listeners.
