Might be an excellent tool for development of the tech plans in the districts!

Didn't see much here that Google Apps couldn't do for free. With collaborative calendars, shared docs, group chat, collaborative sites that all work together, it's a pretty powerful tool. And when teachers learn to use it better, they will discover more ways to utilize it in the classroom.

Wow, thanks Rob, You saved me from having to take the time to look at this resource! See you this week!

Schedule Once meeting planner that works directly with your Google calendar.  Very similar to Doodle, but with gadget right in your Gcal.  Very cool for us Google calendar lovers!!!

I like reading marketing blogs because they focus on communicating and building support for new ideas--sounds a lot like technology integration and education in general. Consider this revised quote from the bookmarked blog post: "The reason social media doesn't matter is because, upon further review, it doesn't exist beyond a label. While all the categorizing, classifying and departmentalizing was going on, that which was called social media simply settled into the center of [learning] and [instructional] strategy and behavior. Everything that we called social media is irrelevant and mislabed - there's a new way of doing [teaching] and [learning] for sure, but it's a behavior and focus on [student] involvement that's become a new norm - and that's all there is to it. We don't need social media tools, social media plans, social media agencies, or social media departments, we need [instructional] strategies and [practices] that are informed by a terribly heightened [learner] expectation."
