Flock is Dead: Try Rockmelt

Cool Cat Teacher Blog where remarkable teachers learning about teaching

The Flock web browser is dying as of April 26, 2011. I know David Warlick has always loved it.

Although the official Flock page recommends Google Chrome or Firefox (IE is strangely absent) – I recommend Rockmelt instead and I’ve reviewed this before. I use RockMelt when I feel like being a social surfer. I use Firefox for power browsing and Chrome when I need speed!

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

Sadness that Flock is flying the coop. Oh, well, technology and I march on.

This has been my favorite browser for over a year! I’m really not ready to say goodbye! I’ll have to check out RockMelt. Thanks for the tip.
