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.

Has integration with Dropbox as well

The Art Project powered by Google features interior tours of seventeen world famous art museums. Select a museum from the list on the homepage and you can virtually tour it using the same interface style you experience in Google Maps Streetview. Inside the museum just double click to zoom to a location. You can also open a floor plan overview and click on a room to navigate to that part of the museum. The best part of the Art Project powered by Google is the option to create your own artwork collection while visiting each museum. As you're touring a museum click on the "+" symbol on any work of art see it in greater detail, to add it to your collection, and to open background information about that work of art. To create a collection you must be signed into your Google account.

A fairly new teacher has come up with a way to help her anxiety-ridden AP Calculus AB students relax more in class. She's using an approach dubbed by her students as the "backwards classroom."
