Fun Tech Gifts

   My son reminded me that I needed to give him a wish list of things I’d like for Christmas and that the list should be fun and not necessarily practical.  I was having a hard time thinking of fun gifts when I came across a blog entry by Gwyneth Jones– The Daring Librarian.  Gwyneth posted a great list of ‘luxury and geeky’ gifts for the holiday season.   Here are just a few of her suggestions:

• Belkin SurgePlus 3-Outlet Mini Travel Swivel Charger SurgeProtector with Dual USB – This will be a great item to use when I present workshops next summer! Approximately $20.00
• PicMonkey – a fun and FREE digital photo editing site but has an upgrade that makes it even more fun for only $33.00 a year.  

   Not on Gwyneth’s list but one item I’d like to recommend is the LogitechWireless Keyboard K400.   The science teacher’s projector broke and she really wanted an interactive whiteboard to replace it but my principal told her that what not an option.  Instead, I showed her my new Logitech Wireless Keyboard for only $30.00 and she is ecstatic!  “This sleek wireless keyboard comes with 1 wireless controller. The controller gives you cool plug and play technology, multimedia hot keys and more.” So you don’t have to spend a lot to get a great interactive device to add to your teaching tool box!
