So far so Good! I have a 3.88 and the edge helps me maintain that. I depend on it in class now more than my netbook. I am focusing on the middle school level, hoping for an endorsement in reading and art. I find it incredible that so many students graduate high school without being able to read fluently; and that so few of them read for pleasure. I get my associates this fall; and have about 36 credit hours to go until I get a license. I look forward to the 2nd generation edge for my teaching days!
