About time TI did something different with graphing calculators.

Create anything in 3D with CoSpaces, share your creations with your friends or dive into them in virtual reality. Get started - it's free and easy!

I plan to recommend this to my confirmation classes and my congregation at large.

With cloud storage continuing to make progress as broadband continues to make inroads to more people and speeds increase, I hope features and transparency in using them grows. I have and use to various degrees iCloud, SkyDrive, DropBox, and Google Drive (used Insync for a while). My favorite is still DropBox and the space limitations are not an issue for most people. Speeds of Cloud storage will never be the same as LAN or WLAN speeds for large file storage, so frequent access to large files in the cloud is not a realistic possibility yet (ever?). While an argument could be made for backup, well I think CrashPlan, Mozy or Carbonite (as well as others) have that market covered. While I like the Arstechnica brief pros and cons (http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/news/2012/04/cloud-storage-a-pricing-and-feature-guide-for-consumers.ars), I would love to see more in depth pros and cons from long term usage. iCloud for instance while great for iOS backup for our families 2 iPhones and 1 iPad, there is no transparent way to mount the iCloud volume for direct or cached data storage. On the other hand, the Shared folder on the Dropbox volume is nice for my wife and I to share working files across our two or three computers for work. Awesome. SkyDrive has a hook in MS Office which I have tested and works nicely, but it is limited in device support. GoogleDrive is really new, so I am still working through using it. I suspect this will continue to evolve over time.

Allows hosting of online meetings and webinars. MeetingBurner offers advantages over "GoToMeeting" like speed, simplicity, integration with Skype, sharing meeting on YouTube, option of free fully featured meetings, and mobile apps on Android and iOS.

Just a guess, but I predict Apple's next big announcement will be connected to this idea.....

Mobile app search engine

iPad and Android "flashless" apps have been released. iPad and Android users with network connectivity can now search, lookup and read many different Bible translations (NIV, God's Word, ASV, etc., on the go. You can also add and reference study notes too.

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.

Keepass2 with the KeeFox Firefox Add-on and Dropbox to make it available to all my computers and devices is wonderful. On my iOS devices I use MiniKeePass to have my passwords with me everywhere. It is all free too.

Cards with a QR code, 4 possible answers, and anonymity to check student understanding. Awesome.

Gamifying writing by loosing your writing if you pause.

I had a friend recommend this site, he says it is great for collaboration with others on their church's video team for developing content. It is a tool that let's you annotate and comment videos, like you would a Doc in Google.
