I suppose they could submit a blank "see email" assignment, so that it showed up as "needs to be graded"

That is actually a great idea! Then I can attach it to that in the notes sectyion for the instructor to see. We are using BB to keep records rather than me keeping a paper file on each student (because this is a class that certifies a nurse to assist in surgery, we have to have records of their clinical hours)

Some of the students do not have scanners, so they are sending me hard copies.

Not sure if this is a helpful option for them or not but I just got a scanning app on my phone and it's pretty nifty. I was surprised at how well the scans came out.

That is actually a great idea!

Whoo!

What's the scanning app called, Kristen?

I have photoToPDF for iphone and iPad. Trick is getting good lighting and not being a shadow on the document.

I have about 3 scanning apps on my iphone and I'm not happy with any of them. And yet,California accepted it for my birth certificate request. So perhaps my standards are so high no one can meet them?

It's called Turbo Scan. (I tried another one -- whose name I can't remember -- but the quality was no better than just snapping a photo.). They have this thing called SureScan. It takes three photos of your document and the text, even tiny text, is really clear.

Thanks!

Mom says the government is turning off the servers that run the Internet. It was on local news, so it must be true. This is all I could find quickly on the iPhone. [link]

Check your DNS settings. I think you will be ok otherwise.

That HP article is riveting. It feels like just yesterday when all the podcasts were debating the Pre (because it was a contender), and complaining about the creepy woman in the ads.

But at the same time, it feels like it's been an Android/iOS race since forever.

I bought the touchpad out of curiosity--my tablet requirements will probably continue to be satisfied by the Galaxy for a little while now. But once I got my hands on it, I realised I wouldn't have jumped in head first for a couple reasons--I didn't have any tablet experience to compare the Galaxy to, but it fel slim and cool. When I got my sister a tablet--I forget the brand now, actually--it was heavier than my Galaxy, but it felt more rugged where the Touchpad felt heavy

The Touchpad definitely isn't made to slip into my mini-backpack and get carried everywhere with me. So I tried to find a niche for it at home. But I couldn't find a media player for it that supported my library--at least not for free. And as reading apps go, it couldn't be used for my Nook library.

So right now it's just the portable web browser.
