  • Macbook Pro vs. Mac Air · web20classroom · Storify

    Here is a storify by Steven Anderson (@web20classroom) who had asked the difference between Macbook Pro vs. Mac Air. Storify lets you easily link together information from Twitter, Facebook, and other social media in an easy-to-read story. Just remember to do it pretty soon after tweeting as it can be hard to get back to old Tweets. Twitter doesn’t let you go back indefinitely. Great comparison and view of how social media mavens like Steven can share information from their networks.

Vicki Davis

Vicki Davis has been an educator and IT director in Georgia since 2002. Today, she also works as an instructional technology coach, staying side-by-side with active teachers and students so her work stays grounded in real classrooms.

She's a mom of three, wife of one, and loves talking about the wise, transformational use of technology for teaching and doing good in the world.

She has blogged at the Cool Cat Teacher Blog since 2005 and hosts the 10 Minute Teacher Podcast and Cool Cat Teacher Talk (radio, public access TV, YouTube, and all major podcast platforms), interviewing remarkable educators around the world. Vicki focuses on what unites us — a quest for truly remarkable, life-changing teaching and learning. The goal of her work is to provide actionable, encouraging, relevant ideas for teachers, grounded in truth and shared with love.

If you talk to Vicki for long, she'll encourage you to "Relate to Educate," to "innovate like a turtle," or to be "a remarkable teacher." She loves homemade sourdough bread and cinnamon rolls and runs half marathons with her sisters. You can usually find her laughing with her students or digging into a book.

Thank you for reading, sharing, and telling your friends about the work we do here! - Vicki
