Interesting Links 2 March 2015

Back in school today. It was nice to have a break but I am looking forward to time with my students today. I got no school work done at all during the week off. I’m going to be paying for that this week though. Well that is life. I did pick up a mini display port to VGA connector from my Surface Pro 3. Now using a second monitor. Productivity will improve.
