Google Apps for the iPad is a small site built by Google Certified Teacher Jill Galloway. The site addresses a lot of common questions about using Google Apps on iPads. 

A Twitter friend, Holly Clark aka @hollyedtechdiva,(http://hollyclark.net/), shared a post she found about how Google Apps can make a difference for teachers & students. And they are making a difference, and there's so much more we can do. Just think, students and teachers in our district have created over 30,000 docs, 1,712 spreadsheets, 1,027 presentations, & 2,894 folders. There are also over 9,000 files uploaded and stored in Google Drive. And there are 10 things Google Apps teachers rarely, if ever hear. Check them out :)

Steps and screenshots on how to start a Google+ community. If your school is a Google Apps school, this is available as part of the suite. Possible to create student communities for courses, clubs, etc., with fellow teachers, and the community.

Great visual and description of how to use Google Drive in creative, effective ways with students. Don't forget, Google Apps also export in MS Office formats.

Thanks, Mike. I've been collecting links for awhile on Google Apps in Diigo and glad to have this one. I'm already thinking of a website for the district. I created one for the Google Apps training and will be thinking how to revise and expand it.

Great collection of resources on Google Apps for educators. I've forwarded this to teachers so they can survey a wide variety of topics. Check it out! In addition, I'm going to look at using LiveBinders as a way of organizing different resources to share with others or just as a way or organizing them for quick access.

Google Apps Script for Google Forms and Spreadsheets that allows email merge in them. Simple interface.

"Meet Dictation v2.0, a web-based speech recognition app that will transcribe your voice into digital text using the Chrome Speech API. You can also install Dictation as a Chrome App." I tried it and it works pretty well. No special software is needed, so it will run fine on a Chromebook.

"A Googleaholic's Guide to all things gmail" - if you can't use Google Apps for Education and give students an email address, here is a creative use of gmail to do that so students can register and login to different applicaitons.

Fantastic resource that not only provides resources for teachers and students, but allows for CURATION & customized collections. This could be a great way to have students learn CURATION skills - an important digital literacy. Google Apps integration. 

Snaplr is a simple way to capture and annotate your desktop's activity. Its Free to download. After taking your screenshot, you can highlight a specific screenshot area further with a set of drawing tools. Copy your screenshot to the clipboard and paste it to an email or save it as a png attachment instead.  Works great in Gmail and Outlook. I like using this in Windows as Google Chrome doesn't have the best screen capture extensions right now that can annotate as easily as this tool.
