This was shared in the class I'm currently teaching for MLC. I loved the find so much, I wanted to share it with everyone! H/T to Janna Reinhard for the tip!

This app from the chrome store can be used on chrome browser, chromebook, iPad, or iphone. Sync. If you already use drop box this is a must. OPen the app and you can start a new document or open one from your drop box or google drive and start working. Makes data flow in the ipad world a snap.

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.

This little box comes highly recommended as a unit to power a digital display using Risevision server software. Looks promising...

Sync cloud based files from Google Docs, Drop Box, SugarSync, Picassa and FTP

That's what that camera is in that search box for! This might be helpful for determining attribution for an image.

Cool! A new Google image search trick!!

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.

This is just coming out and promises to have more full education features soon. I think it has lots of promise - try it out and keep an eye on it. Probably should have kept it for my pick for September! ; )

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?)
