While there's currently no version of Microsoft Office for iPad, a young software firm, hopTo Inc., is providing iPad users with a convenient workaround.
hopTo allows users to create, open and edit Office documents on the iPad before saving them to the cloud. The current version supports both Word and Excel files, with PowerPoint slated for an upcoming update. CNet's Lance Whitney has put the app through its paces, and his findings are positive.
"You can access files and documents from Dropbox, Box and Google Drive. A representative for hopTo told me the company plans to add support for Microsoft SkyDrive in the near future. You also can retrieve files from your local computer by installing a File Connector program. For now, the program works only on Windows PCs, but hopTo said that Mac support is coming soon."
While the app's performance is garnering positive reviews, its most valuable feature may be its price. hopTo is currently available in The App store for free.

There are so many great things we can do with children's literature. As a teacher, I always wanted to know and understand the excitement children have for "one" book. I would share the same book for an entire week with different activities, and they never seemed bored but always...
Debating Valentine’s Day, a la 18th and 19th Century European Thinkers
February is about to come to a close and with it passes the mass-marketed holiday of Valentine’s Day. It seems at points that little thought is given to the historical origins of the day, and instead we are bombarded by advertisements for greeting cards, flowers, candies, stuffed animals and all things pink and red.
Working in high schools on Valentine’s Day can be both exhilarating and frustrating....
