I'm too cheap to get the Windows 8 Phone, but I like the idea: "It's not about apps.... it's about PEOPLE." That's how I teach, so why not communicate in the same way?

Here's a message from one of my students:

You should buy a Windows Phone 8! E.g. Nokia Lumia 720. You would really love using it.

Why? First, it's NOT all about apps. It's all about people! All information from different accounts in a single place, the people hub. 

Easily share on Facebook. 

Perfect Skype integration.

Try it!

Thank you, Lutz.

I will pass on comments to Lutz if you want to contact him.  He really knows Windows.  If you are committed to a PC, then you should know what Lutz has in his head.   And he enjoys sharing his insights.  (But he rightly protects his privacy...so send me a message and I'll pass on your questions to Lutz...)

How to become a better teacher: Ask your former students to send you excellent videos (thank you, Lutz!)

My former student and current friend and computer mentor Lutz sent me this video.

It is worth watching.

Here are some screenshots.

Go, Marauders

ooooooo

They look engaged

Wow, I can use my microsoft hotmail / outlook account

What is he doing?

Don't break it!

oh...

This teacher is welcome any time to join me for
lunch on Las Olas, my treat.  What a clear presentation.

It won't hurt any of us to look at this logo one more time.

Clearly I need to get a tablet.  thanks to Lutz, and his patient "seminar during a barbecue", I know that I need to get a touch screen and Windows 8.

Students:  when you find a useful video like this one, send the link to your former teachers.   Teachers can learn from you.
