Welcome back!  And don't forgot, tomorrow night we'll have our weekly podcast!  Today we begin with a post from Carmel Deamicis on... Robot teachers!  The article, "When Your Teacher is a Robot" discusses the growing influence of computer-based learning in the classroom and the seemingly inevitable rise of robot teachers.  It's a great post and offers a lot to consider.

Next up, Tom Vander Ark at Getting Smart has a new article on "EduClipper's Presentation Portfolios."  If you're not familiar with EduClipper, it's essentially the Pinterest of education.  It's a wonderful resource and you can read our review of the service here.  Vander Ark's post discusses the new Presentation Portfolios feature which will allow teachers and students to easily organize their clipboards into presentations.
