Goodbye, Aviary – Looking for cloud-based Photoshop alternatives

August 22, 2012 - Leave a Comment

Sometimes, things go wrong. (Like trying to dictate this blog post using Dragon Naturally Speaking 12, and discovering the new “enhanced” Bluetooth headset doesn’t work. But that’s a different story.) No, today’s story is about, Aviary. Aviary was a nice collection of free online image and multimedia editing tools. Not as powerful as Photoshop, of […]


Dragon Naturally Speaking Home vs Professional 15 Review:

  • Nuance offers two versions of their voice software. Read this blog post comparing Dragon Professional vs Dragon Home 15.
  • UPDATE (Tue, Dec 10, 2019): By the way, I still use Dragon Professional 15 to blog and write things down – even though I type at 100+ WPM. The last post I dictated was this one about a free New Year’s Resolution writing activity.

Free WPMU DEV membership contest: Create your own edublogs.org class blogging network

August 9, 2012 - Leave a Comment

[stextbox id=”info”]Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12 just came out and I used the voice recognition software to write this post. Is Dragon 12 better than Dragon 11? It’s supposed to be more accurate, but time will tell. [/stextbox] If you blog in the classroom or run your own class website, chances are you’ve heard of edublogs.org. They’re […]

Where did July go? Future Shop is already running back-to-school specials and we’re not even into August yet. Sometimes the biggest challenge with integrating technology into the classroom isn’t a lack of interest, desire, or know-how, it’s a lack of resources. And the problem with resources is that they cost money. One of my side […]

Summer Planning. Oh, and Save $10 on iTunes $50 gift card

July 18, 2012 - Leave a Comment

Ah, summer vacation. I love having some time to play with new technology and think about new possibilities for the classroom next year. Lately, I’ve been working behind the scenes on my student blogging network and online literature circles. I’m hoping to open that up to more teachers next year, as well as offer social […]
