A Google version of Evernote looks like it is on the way. I'm excited, since I already live in Google Apps during the day, I would love having all of my notes in Apps too. Currently using Scratchpad (A Chrome Extention) which ties into Drive, but this looks more feature rich.

Sallie, WELSTech Trainer, share the link to the article for PrintMyCal. Here's the link to the developer blog site and the download.

"Do you or your church, school or other organization use Google Calendars?  Are you looking for a printing solution for your Google Calendar? Print my Cal gives you a tool to print your google calendar... nice! Print My Cal is a Java-based executable program which allows users to add one or more Google Calendars, select a desired month and receive an editable, print-ready version of the calendar(s) in RTF format."

I started this Google Group for participants in my EDT 6801 class through MLC. This group is meant to connect Google users of all kinds in our WELS schools to learn more about how these powerful tools can be used with effective teaching to meet the needs of our students and to preach Christ crucified to a dying world.

A module you can add to Moodle for single sign on between Google Apps and Moodle. It seems that this code doesn't work for Moodle 2.x yet, but it is a compelling option for larger organizations...

Excellent FAQs, helps and tutorials for all different Google apps products. The articles for each are very helpful and detailed. There is a separate Google Sites FAQs, etc. too.

Chad Kafka shared: I will be presenting at the Google Education Summit during June 17-21 in Southeast Wisconsin!  It's a week long event focused on using Google in Education and participants get a Chromebook!   Here's a deal if you sign up, if you use the coupon code KAFKA, you get $100 off your registration!  Check it out.

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.

Useful Extension that works with Libre Office or Open Office to upload documents to Google Docs. Nice to be able to use as a quick backup option for important documents, or can be an easy way to get a document up to Google Docs so it can be shared and edited in the future.

ntroducing a Hangouts app for Virtual Classrooms If you use Hangouts on air (or consider using them) for education, and miss any of the features below: - A full featured registration module to manage attendees - An all-in-one Event Planner/Scheduling/Conferencing app - A comprehensive e-mailing system with fully custom automatic invitation emails, reminder emails and follow up emails - Allow non-plussers attend your classrooms signing in with their Facebook or LinkedIn profiles - Run private HOAs (directly generate unlisted YouTube recordings) - Give the mic to a viewer on-the-fly and make them participant, the time of a question - Get fixed URLs for your permanent virtual classrooms (with or without scheduling) - View a map with geolocated attendees - View your attendees as avatars in a 3D virtual classroom , create a sense of presence, see who's raising hand,... - A unified & moderated chat for participants and viewers engaging in the same chat then you should look into +Business Hangouts : Business Hangouts is an app built for Google Hangouts by Altadyn using the Google Hangouts API (not built by Google ).

Blog post pointing to tutorial/quiz for using Google Earth. Great resource for teachers looking to integrate this tool into classroom instruction.

Interesting concept for using Google tools to develop online portfolios. Integration with Google apps might be helpful, too.

This document explains how Google docs can be used to help improve writing.

A FinalWeb customer recommends this site as alternative to Google Cal because it doesn't truncate the printed version ... I thought you might like to know about a FREE NON-Google calendar that has word wrap, is easy and will import a google calendar.

This is referring to Apps for business, Ryan. I certainly hope the Google Apps for Education will continue to be free now that many educators and schools are depending on them. If not, there will be some dramatic changes that need to be made.

There was a free version that would allow you to have up to 10 users. This version has been eliminated for new users. I am making use of this version since my school is not accredited, which is a requirement to use Apps for Education.

I can't believe that Google is shutting this down!  Hopefully some of these alternative RSS readers will be able to take its place.  Any suggestions or recommendations from the WELSTech crowd?
