Fresh on the heels of adding discussions to Google presentations and the ability to edit within the Google Docs Android app, we've been hard at work on a few other new features to enhance your Google Docs experience. All your comments--in one tidy place We just added the discussions feature to Google drawings, and today we're making it even easier to see a log of all of the comments that have been made whether you're using drawings, documents, or presentations. Just click on the "Comments" button in the upper right corner of the editor to see a complete history of your discussions. You can reply in line, resolve or re-open comments, link directly to a comment, or change notification settings--without ever leaving the "Comments" menu.

Draw a Stickman PART 2! 

Place Out Of Time is a simulation of a trial, where students play guests who come from a range of places and times throughout history to discuss some of the great issues of humankind. Our trial takes place (virtually) at the Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain. Place Out of Time is a writing intensive project for middle and high school students, meant to draw upon their sense of play and the hook of having an audience for their ideas to engage them in putting a twist on the study of history. Student participants and university mentors debate issues and perspectives in character, and move from reading and studying about their characters to a series of opportunities for original research--both historical and creative--as they decide what their character would say about issues that took place in places far distant (in time and geography) from their lives.

This is absolutely the BEST new think I've seen today. Or yesterday. 

Drawing from some of the most pivotal points in his life, Steve Jobs, chief executive officer and co-founder of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, urged graduates to pursue their dreams and see the opportunities in life's setbacks -- including death itself -- at the university's 114th Commencement on June 12, 2005.
