This is probably more of a district issue, but I am sure there are students here that it applies to and they are not going to be quick to point it out

Too bad I didn't see this before our meeting yesterday. Although one of the solutions is blended learning.

Not sure why you sent that link as a email instead of posting it Jaime, but it is very interesting. This is really interesting as a tech development. Will this idea catch on, do people want things not "with them" what if Google goes under what happens to that data? For us I think it is a problem because it would mean so much of students work is stored out of the country, out of the district (this is an advantage to Moodle). Personally I am intrigued but cautious, I don't like subscription service for something as key as my data. While it may protect me from my hard drive crashing and not having a back up it doesn't protect me from Google jacking up my subscription fee.

This is the first chapter of a book that is mentioned in the NASSP post

I don't know if I can comment on this there is no link. This is not in our paradigm to have free ranging conversations, I think we need to vote Len off the island.

Actually that it is a good idea, do you set up a special teacher account for Google and then let students subscribe to it? When I first discoverer google calenders and how easily it syncs with my iPhoneI tried to pitch the admin on getting the school calender on google but it fell flat, how about now Jim?

I haven't listened to the whole interview yet but this seems intriguing the downside is that it is targeted to at risk students so it is the opposite end of the spectrum for many of us. In addition I have relieved some of my guilt since now at least I have posted something.
