Well we are really and truly into November now. Over the weekend we went back to Eastern Standard time in New Hampshire. The best thing about that is that for a little while it is easier for me to get up earlier. Does the same effect work with students? Not sure. I have a bunch of links for teachers...

They have both been helpful to me with information and support so I wanted to give them a shout out – a little link love in blogger terms. Mike Tholfsen and his team at OneNote have kicked off the OneNote...
