As my husband can attest to, I have a thing for magazines. I LOVE to purchase them, tear out things, pass them along, etc. I think that if we purchased one of those log makers we'd have enough fuel to get us through the winter (OK, OK, I know that the winter in the East has been mild, but still).
So I was on one of my frenzied shopping sprees this past weekend and picked up an issue of Real Simple. I didn't pay any attention, just realized I didn't have that cover in my possession and assumed it was a new issue. Two shopping stops later I ran across another Real Simple whose cover image I also did not recall -- in to my shopping cart it went.
Imagine my ire when upon arriving home I noticed that BOTH Real Simple issues had the SAME date (February 2012) AND that the content was the same.
I've posted an image above for you to see what I am talking about.
Would you say that this is 'false advertising'?

Real Simple Magazine -- #FAIL!

'Web C3 - Consume, Contribute, Collaborate'
It IS All About Me!
Why 'Just in Time Tech'? Because at the speed at which we are bombarded with apps & integration ideas & ed tech issues I feel that it's vital that we stop (my Tech Motto is 'Reduce, Reuse, Recycle') & digest all this information. This blog will help me to make sense of all that is happening. And if, on occasion, I wander from my focus that's O.K. because, after all, this IS 'life in perpetual beta'!
My name is Nancy Sharoff and currently I teach 2nd grade in New York. I also teach graduate level courses online in areas of Ed Tech, Cyberbullying, Math, and Children's Literature. I've presented at local, state, national, and virtual (Second Life) on a variety of topics, the latest (and my most recent passion) on Visual Literacy. I'm also proud to call myself a Google Certified Teacher and a STAR DEN Educator, as well as a DEN Guru in Visual Literacy.
