Google Forms has a huge potentail for classroom teaching and teachers can do a myriad of tasks with it.

Lately, I've been trying to find a solution for backing up my school files in a way that I will never lose them and will be able to access them from anywhere, including a mobile device.  There's about a thousand services out there, but the cheapest I've found is Sugarsync.  First of all, it gives you 5 gb for free.  That's 3 more gb than Google, Dropbox, and others give.  Also, it's $5 a month for 30gb.  It syncs all my files and I can access from anywhere.  I tried really hard to find a syncing solution for Google, but you have to have a $50/year Google Apps account and then pay another site to do the syncing for you.
