A special education teacher, Marisa Kaplan, has launched a new blog to help parent and teachers learn about how technology can help kids learn. The blog, EdGeeks.com, also provides place for parents to ask advice--including the questions you may not have time for in your parent-teacher conferences.

Kaplan, who has taught at Manhattan School for Children as well as The Equity Project Charter School, says she wants to bridge the gap between home and school.
