    At the start of this semester I decided it was time for a new home printer. With 2 kids now in high school and 1 in 6th grade, reliable home printing is a necessity rather than a luxury. Our old printer worked fine, but since we now have several Chromebooks in our family laptop mix, I decided…

  • iPad Classroom Workflow: Publishing Student Videos to YouTube

    It’s not the “norm” today but it should be: Every K-12 classroom teacher needs access to a YouTube channel to publish student work as well as their own videos.
