Illustration and Storyboarding to promote literacy learning,
"pinging" your blog, and using technology to ferret out those dead links in school websites.This week Mark and Kathy find themselves in a productive, late august, dog day brain space - a place somewhere between hunkering down to real work and sitting on the porch spitting watermelon seeds.

Insights from the Exhibition Floor :( Reflections on exhibitor offerings and why they are informative, but less than inspiring. Media Literacy, New Resource Announcement (Classroom Robotics), the Skinny on Integrating Art and Technology in All Subjects, OtterBox Review and more...This week Kathy and Mark run down items that reached out from behind the vendor booths and grabbed their attention: the good, the sad, and the mediocre. JPG? GIF? The rules are made to be probed as all teachers become art integrating teachers and all classrooms transform into art rooms through the use of user friendly, free tech resources. And what about that new blog, "CLASSROOM ROBOTICS"?
