Evernote, what’s all the hype? Every time I turn around, I see Evernote mentioned.  I downloaded it and installed last fall, but never really used.  Then I got an iPad, and Evernote has a app and I see lots of chatter about it.  I am thinking I need to dig into it and find out what all the hoop-a-la is about.

14 Technologies Educators Should Watch in 2010

Tech vets go toe-to-toe on the latest tools that can improve instruction, boost productivity, or just help make users’ lives a bit more organized.

At the FETC 2010 conference in Orlando, FL last week, speakers Hall Davidson and John Kuglin were joined by Leslie Fisher for a game of one-upmanship as each gave a packed house the rundown on their favorite new–and not so new–apps, platforms, and gadgets in a session dubbed the “Sandbox Shoot-Out.”
