BiblioBurro: The Donkey LIbrary

This post really doesn't have anything to do with using iPods in the classroom but it does have to do with dedicated teachers who go above and beyond to ensure their students get the education they need. Teacher Luis Soriano distributes books to children in rural Colombia while traveling on his donkey, Beto. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Watch the full episode . See more POV.

What a Great Conference!

We made it safely to the ISTE Conference in Philadelphia and back home to Phoenix! The weather was great, the conference was so informative, and we even had time to visit some of the historic sites: the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, and the home of Betsy Ross. Every day as we walked from our hotel to the conference center and back we passed the historic city hall building with the statue of William Penn at the top. Very awe inspiring.

Even the times we stopped at the Bloggers Cafe to rest our tired feet was a great experience. You could listen in on conversations between ed tech gurus such as David Warlick and David Jakes conversing about educational technology to watching Kevin Hunnycutt leading the iPad band.
