A camera and a projector in one?
I was amazed today to read about the new Nikon Coolpix S1000pj. It is a digital camera with a projector built right in. So now when you take pictures you can instantly share them with friends and family by projecting them on to nearest wall. It also has the ability to show slide shows. I can still remember the old slide projectors, so this is pretty cool.

Edmodo
Edmodo is a twitterlike application that is for schools. It allows teachers to create private groups (ex. their class) for micro-blogging. The great part is that you can have the whole class participate without interuption from the outside world (other than parents who you mights also want to invite into the group). I LOVE Twitter, some might even say I am addicted to it. However in school with it being so open to the outside world you are leaving the door open to spammers and all sorts of unsavory followers. So this is a great option for schools, who want the ability fo Twitter without the option of everyone in the free world being able to send them tweets.
