I find this journal helpful for several reasons. It is written in a conversational manner, making it an “easy” read. The ideas presented in this journal have practical application for the educator in the trenches. I was aware of L&L as I’ve read several articles from this journal for other grad classes.

This journal addresses an important topic in education today--how pedagogy and student expectations are/should change due to the infusion of technology in our world. It is a bonus that the journal is available on-line with no costs attached. There is a subscribe feature which allows you to receive an e-mail when new articles are posted. There were several features that caught my attention, especially those on 1:1 laptop initiatives. I was not aware of this publication before this review.

I did not find this journal useful for a few reasons. First, full access required a membership fee, which I didn’t want to pay. Secondly, this site was quite user “UN”-friendly. Maybe it would be easier to navigate with a paid subscription?? I've not encountered this publication before.
