Hey Have you tried any of these webinar sites? Rt

Rt - I took the "Day in the Life of a Gaggle Student" webinar. I later contacted the webinar team and asked for a copy of the presenter's notes. They sent a PDF "Getting Started with Apps Guide.pdf" highlighting the newest Gaggle Apps. I'll post it in our Google docs for you to take a look at. I'll email it to everyone but here is the link if you want to dive right in. https://docs.google.com/a/buffaloschools.org/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B_w6YKU5SNpCYzE4M2FiZjUtZjYzYy00MGUxLTg0NmEtZWRlZDYzOWFkOTYx&hl=en&authkey=CNOQkf8H

Android App to access Lotus iNotes. I had a teacher ask if she could access her district email from her new Droid Incredible smartphone. I did a little Googling - lotus webnotes droid incredible app - and came up with this little gem. 10-50k downloads is a fair amount and it has an average of 4 stars. For iPhone users it's a little easier. From the iPhone type in notes.buffaloschools.org in your browser of choice. You should see the same page that you would see if logging in from your desktop. Login, and voila!...cool little interface complete with calendar and contacts.

I attended a Gaggle run webinar, "A Day in the Life of a Gaggle Student", this morning. The presenter highlighted most of the new features and apps students and teachers are likely to use to communicate with each other throughout the day. The package is setup like Google Docs in many ways. Gaggle content is filtered so that educators can provide appropriate content and support to their students in a social media like environment. GoToMeeting was the platform used to conduct the webinar. GoToMeeting is a paid service for delivering webinars and conducting onlinr training and meetings.

Hmmm....
