Toys R Us is getting into the tablet wars. They
just announced a $150 kid-oriented tablet that's perfect for a classroom
without a lot of money to spend. The Tabeo, as it's called, is wi-fi enabled,
has extensive parental controls, and comes pre-loaded with about 50 apps such
as Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja.

A UK Radio and social media campaign has been launched
created by students for teachers. Working with Eteach, St Wilfrid's school

awards for the country’s most outstanding teachers in January.

important lessons a student needs. The creators of Ludwig delivered a TED
talk (below) that unveils a bit more information on why and how they built
the epic game.
