The daily links section will feature links that I have run across during that day that I find interesting and fit into the realm of education. The links will be about technology, different academic subjects, leadership, and various other topics. Check back daily to see what else I’ve found.
FontStruct
http://fontstruct.fontshop.com/
I ran across FontStruct today. It’s a great little site that lets you build your own fonts using a simple editor.
I’ve experimented with it a little and will probably use it for some projects. It could also be fun to allow students to create their own fonts for presentations and assignments.
Mail Merge with Google Docs

Great short video from Mark Wagner today about setting up a mail merge using Gmail and Google Docs.
http://www.mathwords.com/
From their site: “An interactive math dictionary with enough math words, math terms,
math formulas, pictures, diagrams, tables, and examples to satisfy your inner math geek.”
This looks like it would be a good resource for math students.
