year in technologyI wrote hundreds of posts for Teleread this year; to wrap up my Year  in Review, here are some of my favourites! A few of these got tons of comments and prompted some great discussions. Others slipped under the  radar and may be worth a second look. I hope this gives you some good holiday reading!

"I’m a journalist, a teacher and an e-book fiend. I work as a French teacher at a K-3 private school. I use drama, music, puppets, props and all manner of tech in my job, and I love it. I enjoy moving between all the classes and having a relationship with each child in the school. Kids are hilarious, and I enjoy watching them grow and learn. My current device of choice for reading is my Amazon Kindle Touch, but I have owned or used devices by Sony, Kobo, Aluratek and others. I also read on my tablet devices using the Kindle app, and I enjoy synching between them, so that I’m always up to date no matter where I am or what I have with me."
