Looks promising as a no-cost, low-cost solution for teachers. The $10/year version allows for a student/teacher web portal. 

There is a collection of different timers you can use online, or download and use on your desktop (PC), or embed on a webpage or wiki.

An interesting blog post from educator & parent on homework and learning in general. What do you think about it, as a teacher,j administraotr & a parent?

This is an amazing solution for storing, sharing, and back up your data. The ability to access files from any computer & mobile devices makes this a great solution. Up to 2GB storage free! Learn more about the public folder to share files with others, while keeping your other files private. I have it on both my Apple computers and on two PCs. This rocks!

@Jonathon, thanks for sharing the blog post. I'll pass that along to others. @Cathy, thanks for confirming it's been a useful tool.

Here is a LiveBinder with resources used for a Virtual Summer Camp (technology camp for teachers). Again, using LiveBinders makes it a snap to organize resources you want to share.

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.

I especially am interested in the sending group texts to parents. Our school doesn't have an auto-dialer yet for emergencies or group events, and this would be one way to get the information out quickly. For teachers, what a great way to notify parents of urgent matters or upcoming events or needs.

Some small changes that you should know :)

For those that get email from school email clients, it's nice to consolidate them into Gmail, which has great functionality.

This is a really handy web-based app that allows for a fund video chat, with live file sharing, including video & pictures. This would have possibilities in the classroom, for admin., and prof. development.

Wow! What a cool application. I'm downloading it now and can't wait to use it. Check out the video demo.
