AZK12 is hosting Mobile 2012 April 11-13.

Check out the list of speakers:
Jaime Casap
Eric Marcos
Janet Wozniak
Tony Vincent

I’ve attended a conference with Tony before and chatted with him. He definitely knows his stuff. And the Wozniak last name should sound familiar in connection to Apple…

The new page is called ‘Technology in Education‘.

It will be a growing list, so check back frequently.

If you’re taking the AIMS test on Monday, McDonalds will give you a free breakfast from 6am to 9am. It’s Monday only, so make sure to take them up on their offer. As a reminder, we start out with science and writing on Monday.

As promised, I will be the tallest librarian on the court.
