Ok I'm recommending this to everyone with kids are teaching kids. This blog offers important information on websites that are run by adults trying to get students to follow them to other sites. These sites are considered "creepy Treehouses" I'm attaching the link to the article for your viewing and you can decide how creepy this one is.

I thought this blog was rather boring. I anticipated fing some interesting views and comments about computer education but I was wrong. This site offers some good links on the other hand. I don't wanna say its all bad because someone may be able to use this for educational purposes. Please feel free to view it and comment.

Smartpen Technology

After reviewing this blog I knew technology has taken on a new level. This little device records audio as you write. In other words, the words you write are converted to audio. You are are able to take notes with the pen while recording what you write. Impossible right just check out this site and video on youtube. This little smartpen device is called Digital Ethnography. I have never heard of it but after doing a little research I think I want one. Device is great for high school and college level students. Great for the board room, seminars, and other boring presentations and meetings. Check it out!!

Education is our future

Education is our future! Our future is now! We as teachers have the keys to the future. Hello my name is Gerald A Gray. I'm 17 year veteran teacher in inner city schools. I'm married for 7 years with two handsome sons 5 and 4. My belief about education is simple, its free and you have to want to obtain all it has to offer. Success is built on educating yourself in any aspect of life.
