Like any good spreadsheet program, Google Spreadsheets supports a wide array of built-in functions.There are old standbys like SUM and AVERAGE. Mathematical, financial or statistical functions to help you crunch numbers. Even functions that manipulate dates and text. Enter them manually, or use the formulas tab to find the functions you need.

FERPA is one of the most misunderstood regulations in education. It is commonly assumed that FERPA requires all student coursework to be kept private at all times, and thus prevents the use of social media in the classroom, but this is wrong.

There are plenty of services on the web that you can use to create your own private or public discussion forum (click here or here for some I've previously reviewed). But Forums.com takes the prize for easiest name and url to remember. Not only is the name easy to remember, it's easy to create your forum with Forums.com.

Another feature of the Google Docs Viewer Website mentioned above is that you can create your own URLs that point to files online, and send them to others so they can instantly view the file by clicking the link. Just make the first part of the URL read as follows: http://docs.google.com/viewer?url= Then add the URL of the file straight afterwards, including the http:// component. If I wanted somebody to be able to view the Microsoft Word file located at http://keirthomas.com/dump/testfile.docx, for example, I'd send them the following URL: http://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://keirthomas.com/dump/testfile.docx

Open educational resources (OER) are "digitised materials offered freely and openly for educators, students and self-learners to use and reuse for teaching, learning and research."[1] Being a production and dissemination mode, OER are not involved in awarding degrees nor in providing academic or administrative support to students.[2][3] However, OER materials are beginning to get integrated into open and distance education.[4]
