Well, we rolled in three new carts of Apple iBooks. Now each grade level has their own cart. We also got some new digital video cameras. The iBooks are a real treat for the kids to do video editing.

My real project with the iBooks, however, is blog (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog)ging. I want the kids to have their own Drupal for this one. It’s pretty cool, and GPL.

The Drupal system allows teachers to monitor all the blog (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog)s (teachers must approve them BEFORE they’re posted). Students can remain anonymous to the outside world while their teachers still know who’s who.

Now, training the students should be a piece of cake, but training the teachers might prove difficult. I welcome any creative ideas.
