We draw inspiration from this Boston.com article: Connected, Exhausted     Blog Watch: In blog watch we try something different this week- Jay, Judi, Meg, and I all list our favorite blogs that deal with mobiles in the classroom.

You create an account on Study Boost, then you can create your own “batches” of study questions. You can subscribe to the study questions via cell phone (you can also view them on the mobile web). In addition you can share your study questions with friends, teachers, and others so they can also review on the go.” Judi: http://www.ipodsibilities.com/iPodsibilities/Home.html http://wiki.canby.k12.or.us/groups/ipodusergroup/blog/ iear.org http://www.mrcoley.com/ Meg Wilson: Mobile Learning Experience Blog - http://mobile2011blog.posterous.com/ Twitter Talk: The EdReach Tweeter of the Week is: Graham Brown Martin:  @grahambm On the Radar: Dropbox Forms from JotForm –  http://www.jotform.com/dropbox/ (Jay) www.qwiki.com – - has an iPad App on the way.  (Dan) Study Boost.com  - thanks to @lkolb Comic Life for iPad is in Beta-  (Judi )
