Cool interactive relating area and perimiter.

Sounds interesting, but I can't get the link to work :-(

Very cool (and very geeky) stuff here, especially if you have a newer model of android phone.  

Cool WWII resource. Primary source posters. 

Very cool site for historical maps. Click to change the time period. 

For my Android device friends - Sounds pretty cool! From a Netted e-mail: Everything.me is a new launcher that can change which apps appear on your phone based on your current needs. The kicker? You don't even have to install the apps; you can use them right from the cloud.   So let's say you love the new Vampire Weekend album. Plug it into the search bar and Everything.me will pull up SoundCloud so you can listen, MetroLyrics so you can sing along, and Ticketmaster so you can see them live - regardless of whether or not you've installed those apps.   And Everything.me tailors each app to your search result. Each app opens to the relevant Vampire Weekend page. Heck, even the background will be Vampire Weekend. Your phone effectively reinvents itself based on what you're doing right now.

Pretty cool stuff - figure the electronic templates could make this techy... :)  Okay, I mostly just think this would be a lot of fun.

Very cool stuff here!

Excellent list of web 2.0 tools

Pointed to this by a student. He and a partner found a tutorial for extracting DNA from a strawberry! Super cool!

Super cool planetarium software.

Super cool collaborative writing site.

Shared by Pastor Rob Guenther - I've often wondered why DVD's don't have a TV edit track. You'd think it would easy enough to add a track where the foul language is edited out just like they do on TV. I'd let my boys watch some PG-13 movies if they had such a track. Well, there may finally be a solution I've been looking for... VidAngel.com offers $1 movie rentals. Well, sort of. You pay the retail price of the movie (let's say $20) to get a digital copy and they promise to buy it back (in this case, for $19) within 24 hours. (Or for a $2 "rental" fee if you get HD instead of SD.) I think it works like Red Box in that if you don't return it in 24 hours, they buy it back for $1 (or $2 in HD) less the next day until you run out of "credit" and then you eventually own it for $20. Cool program. But... what I like even better is the filter options they give. You can choose to remove sex scenes or bleep out certain language. Then it shows you what you'll see and hear and the new length of your movie. I think this could work well for youth groups as well as for individual or family uses. I think I'm really going to like VidAngel. I can still be culturally current but without putting garbage into my head. I may ditch Netflix DVD for VidAngel soon.

Google Earth resources for all identifiable places in the Bible. Looks pretty great!

I am currently feeling overwhelmed and very unorganized in my online presence. This article holds out hope as we continue the journey into social media - some good thoughts in the post to encourage leaders in bringing good technology into good teaching.

Use Dropbox? This tool is AWESOME! Drop files into your dropbox from any user with an Internet connection. Password protection means that only files you want people to upload make it into your box. Super cool! (can you tell I'm excited?)

How to use Google Docs to create custom flash cards. Use with any Internet-enabled device. Sweet!

Lots of applications for school, catechism, personal study, foreign language...the applications are endless! Very cool.
