Two new technology buzzwords for you to use.
“Web 2.0″ – Ok, this one isn’t new but since no one seems to have the true definition, it’s like new. Think social networking like Facebook, Myspace along with “resources for collaboration, skill building, communication, critical thinking and creativity.” I bought an ISTE book called “web 2.0: new [...]

Lexia has switched distributors and tech support. Their solution is now completely online and eliminates the headaches of supporting a great program with 1990s-like hostilities to networking. Ravenna and the ESU should look at replacing this ancient albatross with the new version.
