Just in time for back to school! 

Our K¹² Attendance application lets you enter your student’s attendance and check if your student has any missing attendance in the last ten days. It’s a great app to log attendance while you and your student are on the go.

Robert Ghrist is a math and electrical/systems engineering professor at the University of Pennsylvania. His mathematical specialty is applied topology, but don’t let that scare you; the text he is writing is really fun.

I read an interesting article entitled Social media find place in classroom in USA Today yesterday about social media use in education today. It really highlights a shift that is currently taking place in education and the need for all of us to consider how we can and should use technology to ensure our system of learning is engaging young minds and preparing them for the future. 

From South Carolina - The Post and Courier, reports that according to a new report by the South Carolina Policy Council, online learning is not just the future of public education, it is one of the most dynamic forces in education today. 

Imagine a public education system able to provide access to high-quality instruction, regardless of where a student lives. Imagine schools able to give individualized instruction to potential dropouts. Or course offerings that encourage students to master their studies, instead of simply show up for class. In fact, this vision for the state's public school system already exists; it's called online learning.
