Welcome back! We've got a pretty short Round Up for today and we'll start at Free Tech for Teachers with a review of "Scrible - Bookmark, Annotate, and Create Bibliographies." Scrible is a free browser-based app that helps students with highlighting, annotating, citing, and creating bibliographies. I'd also recommend checking out Diigo, if you're looking for another app that helps students organize information and create annotations.
Edutech for Teachers has a new review on Thinglink, entitled, "Add Some Swag to you iOS devices with the new Thinglink App!" If you've never used Thinglink, it's a program that can be used to create interactive images by embedding links, videos, even other images, inside your pictures.

Educational Technology opens with a post outlining "The 12 Commandments of Digital Citizens." Essentially, the post is a summary of the graphic below. Educational Technology also has a new post with "5 Awesome iPad Posters for Teachers." If you have iPads in your classrooms, these are worth checking out!
