Apple Tops in Harris Poll

appleCall it a clean sweep for Apple, as the Cupertino-based tech firm took home all of the top spots, including Brand of the Year, in a recent Harris Interactive poll.

Apple was voted the best computer maker, while the company's iPad and iPhone were tops among tablets and mobile phones repectively. "Americans continue to give Apple brands strong ratings," Manny Flores, senior vice president at Harris Interactive, said in a statement to CNet. "And while their Consumer Connection scores are strong within their respective categories, what really stands out is that in all three of the categories Apple brands are measured -- computer, tablet, and mobile phone -- its Brand Momentum scores are in the top 30 of all 1,500 brands evaluated in the study, showing that consumers see this as a brand of the future."

Did they school officials do the right thing by interviewing the student and meeting with...

Teaching in a Technology World

As we know too well, kids today from almost the time they leave the crib are tech savvy. Kids are glued to their devices and it takes a very entertaining teacher to distract students in the classroom from their phones.  Teaching the old fashion way of stand and deliver is no longer effective. Unfortunately, this is the way many educators still teach. For too many teachers they teach like they were taught, and that could have been many years ago. Also not all teachers embrace using technology...
