If you are like us, you often have more devices than outlets, especially when traveling. This is a real pain as you have to set up a hierarchy of importance, and often leave several devices uncharged. No longer. Feast your eyes on the SmartQuad 4 Port Travel Charger from Skiva: The SmarQuad is a "Universal [...]
As we are gearing up to hit the Alabama Educational Technology Conference (AETC) this week, we have had the opportunity to speak with several exhibitors. Among these exhibitor companies is Curriculum Associates. Curriculum Associates offers educators research-based, classroom-proven materials that give every student the chance to succeed.

As you can no doubt tell from our coverage, we love a good power source. There are a ton out there, but more often than not, they seem to be shoddy and cheaply made.
