At a recent professional development session I got the chance to play with the upcoming Windows 8 operating system running on a tablet.
Windows 8 has many features designed to address shortcomings with iOS 4/5 for iPads. One of the most exciting is multi-task capability – this feature allows the user to run 2 different apps at the same time side-by-side. I recorded a quick demo:
The 2012 Partners In Learning US Forum culminated last night at an awards ceremony where 16 educators were chosen to represent the United States in Prague.
This 3-day event, held at Microsoft’s Redmond campus, was a combination of professional development, competition and networking. 102 educators were selected and joined by 30 judges (including Steven Anderson, Leslie Conery, Vicki Davis, Yohance Maqubela) to be challenged and inspired by Alan November, Jurec Klepic, Angela Maiers and each other’s passion and experiences.
Congratulations to all participants, I was honored to be a part of the group.
