1:1 Netbook

Finally got report cards done, so had some time to read background material for 1:1 Netbooks today. Will share with staff:

1. Chatterous (http://www.chatterous.com/)
As a group chat / backchatter tool, I'm trying this tomorrow with my InfoPro students, as a "Tech Help" idea.

2. Advantages/Disadvantages of Netbooks (http://tech4teaching.org/wpblog/?p=551)
A good summary to share with the staff. Especially found the link to "Doug Belshaw's Google Preso" near the bottom to be good to share!

3. (maybe) Middle Years Math Review at TutPup (http://www.tutpup.com/)
Students can improve their math skills, and compete with others around the world.

4. Need to follow Dean Groom (http://deangroom.wordpress.com/)
Good ideas, especially "Wiki Tag" as a way to start the year off by 'building community'.
