Learning and teaching with free google tools. Prezi for Android review. Another notorious latecomer has finally made it onto the Android platform: Prezi.

http://glearningblog.blogspot.com/2012/12/the-new-samsung-chromebook-great-device.html

Learning and teaching with free google tools. The new Samsung Chromebook - a great device for school and education. A substitute for full blown PC and therefore not likely to be your sole device. A status symbol as it does feel a bit cheap (or rather corresponds to the price tag of $249).
