Pinterest for Churches (Part 1: The Basics) - Blog - Church Juice - 4 views

  • Here’s what I like about Pinterest: It’s different than the other major social media players like Facebook and Twitter.  For an organization, it’s less about pushing your own stuff and more about sharing your culture.  What makes your church unique in who it is? Or as Pinterest Co-founder Evan Sharp says, "For most consumer brands, the idea behind your brand makes sense on Pinterest." And it’s also why this social media outlet could be useful for your church.  It’s your chance to not just share yourself but share things you agree with or things that will be useful to your members or your community.

    Great idea and great explanation of how to do it! I'm thinking this would be useful in museums, but why not in everyday places?

LastPass - Automatic Log Off Preferences - 2 views

  •  
    Wondered how to have my LastPass extension log off automatically after a certain duration of time, etc. Otherwise, if someone stole my laptop, I'd still be logged in to LP and they'd have access to all my passwords. Good, simple options in LP Preferences...

About The Licenses - Creative Commons - 2 views

    This little 3 minute video is a great way to introduce Copyright and Creative Commons to middle/upper graders. Simple enough to get started with how these two, CR and CC, work together for good.

Productivity Guild - The online community for macOS and iOS productivity tools and reso... - 2 views

  •  
    Signed up for this to be entered for some freebies from Kourosh Dini, an author, whose books and blog I've read in the past. He's a psychologist and productivity guru, who writes books, among other things, on how to maximize your use of OmniFocus. We'll see if I use the Productivity Guild much. I have to watch out for the trap of getting so caught up in reading about productivity that I become unproductive. :)

    I sometimes want to copy and paste some text from a PDF that wasn't scanned with OCR (e.g. some essays in the Seminary Essay File). I take a screenshot of the paragraph and upload the screenshot file here. (Screenshot-selection-to-file shortcut on a Mac is CMD + SHIFT + 4.)

Potent LastPass exploit underscores the dark side of password managers | Ars Technica - 2 views

  •  
    LastPass has 90 days to fix the potential exploit before ProjectZero releases the exploit to the public. The Mac Geek Gab Podcast recommends switching password managers if LastPass has not "patched the hole" in half the time (May 1). I personally have LP on all my devices, having paid money for the mobile version. 1Password seems to have a stronger reputation from the podcasts and bloggers I follow, but the desktop app was much more expensive than LastPass. Perhaps I'm getting what I've paid for. :(
  •  
    Thanks for this article Emile. It looks like LastPass has implemented a fix, announced last Friday. https://blog.lastpass.com/2017/03/security-update-for-the-lastpass-extension.html/

Best Web Hosting for Churches (And Which to Avoid) - ChurchMag - 2 views

  •  
    I can agree with one of the don't use, we had our church with one of those before we moved to FinalWeb. We have been with FinalWeb for a few years and they have been slow to release responsive designs out. Their streaming service is affordable and solid. They do now have app options which I have seen but not explored.

Using technology in the classroom requires experience and guidance, report finds - The ... - 1 views

  •  
    Thanks Ryan Rosenthal for sharing this article - Ryan says ... Interesting article talking about a small study that was done in Canada. I liked how they said that most tech instruction in the schools they looked at was focused on how to use the tech not on higher order thinking. It also mentions that the teachers on the forefront of tech teaching are not the new teachers but the ones with experience under their belt. Those teachers know how to handle the classroom and are therefore more comfortable taking the challenge of managing the students as they use tech.

    I use these symbolic links to automatically sync various web services together. For example, with these links in place, I can edit a file in my Dropbox, and then have the updated file automatically uploaded to Box, Skydrive, and Google Drive. I can also use the online editing tools for anything in my skydrive... and you get the usefulness of this.

Merging Google Form Data into Document and Emailing PDF - 7 views

  •  
    You can set Google to notify you when a form has been submitted, but you only get a link to the update spreadsheet in Google Drive. This script takes all of the submitted data, arranges it the way you want in a document and sends a PDF to the email you designate. I left out the final step in his code, which deletes the temporary file. Now, I also have an archived Google doc of each submitted form! Now, we don't have to manually create a separate mail merge after all of the registrations have been received.
