Take a minute to think about this question. What resources, apps, or LTAs, did you discover in  2014 and then began to use? In other words, what are some of your favorites? Share 1 or 2 of your favorites via this survey.  We will reveal the results during this week’s FridayLive! In addition, Steve Gilbert and other TLT members will share some of their favorites.

By becoming a member or donating to the TLT Group you will help us continue this work.

	Cognitive Science Book Discussion Series Our Cognitive Science Book Discussion has concluded. Those who participated had this to say: “The book series is great in that it offers some great titles AND the group offers some motivation for finishing the book, a deadline, if you will, and then sharing ideas. “I love the practical applications, like the use of flashcards.” “The selection of books to read I might never have read!” “I like the metacognitive aspect - how thinking about the experience affects our sense of learning.” As a result, we are working to answer this question. What should we read next? We hope you will weigh in by clicking on the link above, react to possible choices and add your own.
