This website is an "all-in-one" kind of resource. It serves as the "computer center" for your classroom. 

What is CoSketch.com?

Do you have an idea, a problem or just a cool picture that you quickly want to show a friend?

A couple weeks ago Apple announced the release of the iPad tablet. It was touted as a tool that fills in the gap between the iPod Touch and the MacBook laptop. Fairly safe view, but it has some glaring pluses and minuses, too. www.apple.com/ipad/

Minus: no built-in camera! Skype, iChat, and other video conferencing tools would have been a strong addition, maybe in the 2nd generation? Another minus is the continuation of the 3G contract with AT&T, whose coverage is not the best. Many were hoping for a Verizon or open-ended contract.

Pluses: built-in Wi-Fi
