Ramping Up Technology for Your Next PBL Project In my last post about taking PBL projects up a notch, I focused on integration of subject matters and disciplines. Fittingly, this post focuses on integrating technology. Teachers often adjust and improve projects by finding new and innovative ways to infuse technology into the PBL process and products.

Edcanvas | The best way to teach with digital content Free Software and Shareware We have made the difficult decision to retire the Tucows Downloads site. We’re pleased to say that much of the software and other assets that made up the Tucows Downloads library have been transferred to our friends at the Internet Archive for posterity. The shareware downloads bulletin board system (BBS) that would become Tucows Downloads was founded back in 1993 on a library computer in Flint, MI. A lot has changed since those early years. Today, Tucows is the second-largest domain name registrar in the world behind Go Daddy and the largest wholesaler of domain names in the world with customers like Shopify and other global website builder platforms. Point is, we’re keeping busy. For the past several years, history, well sentimentality, has been the only reason to keep Tucows Downloads around. Today is different. Tucows Downloads has had an incredible run. Thank you. Sincerely, Elliot NossCEO, Tucows
