A is for Apple. L is for Lion. Z is for Zebra. The alphabet cards taped to the wall over the blackboard are a fixture in class rooms everywhere. They are familiar, comfortable and predictable... until now. It's time to take the alphabet card and turn on its ear, kick it up a notch and take it for a ride.
