I read a lot. Magazines, journals, novels, non-fiction, and news, both online and off. I really hate when you read something interesting and then can't find it again. Hopefully, I can keep track of some of those things on my blog.
Things in the news yesterday:
Former Apple Engineers build a 'computer that cooks' -- I'm not sure that the article convinces me that this is something that is necessary, but is interesting in the grand scheme of the "Internet of Things."
First drone package delivery completed with Virginia Tech assist -- Using technology to help others, especially those in hard to reach places. WDBJ7 also ran a story on the drone delivery, giving the example of someone needing insulin during a bad snow storm. Previous option for delivery: National Guard troops delivering it on foot.
How to Introduce Computing with chalk, tape, and a hard surface -- NCWIT has a lot of great resources. This is a lesson plan for how to teach sorting using everyday objects.
