Friday Random 10, 8/26/11
Don&#8217;t look now, but it&#8217;s the return of the Friday Random 10. Ten songs selected at random from my family&#8217;s, um, eclectic iTunes library. Notice how I say &#8220;my family&#8217;s&#8221; library, so as to deflect questions about why there are &#8230; <a href="https://castingoutnines.wordpress.com/2011/08/26/friday-random-10-82611/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>

Taking a break
It&#8217;s been pretty quiet around here at Casting Out Nines lately. This is mainly due to two things.

But I wonder if many ed tech people &#8212; either researchers or rank-and-file teachers who teach with technology &#8212; &#8230; <a href="https://castingoutnines.wordpress.com/2011/06/10/helping-the-community-with-educational-technology/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>
