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.

http://www.technologyintegrationineducation.com . Technology Integration in Education is a site that does away with the hours of searching the net for the right resources for you. TIE is the Facebook or Linkedin of Education. It is the site to go to network with educators and professionals around the world in order to share best practices when it comes to teaching with technology. TIE is the site that allows members to form groups around ideas, resources and skills. It provides a place where best educational videos can be shared. It provides tutorials in the form or Podcasts or live webinars that give members the opportunity to share some of the multiple resources they could use in order to achieve different objectives. There is a constant streaming of news articles from most of the major educational technology magazines available in one location. In essence, everything an educator could need to integrate technology in their daily teaching can be found in this one location. Well know companies as well as start-up companies now have a single location where educators can go in order to see everything. This centralized location dramatically cuts down on the research and planning time and provides a way for companies to attract prospective clients to their company in one centralized location. Educators are able to blog and discuss their teaching as well as the products used in an open and friendly atmosphere. The opportunities are endless.Join us at http://www.technologyintegrationineducation.com

Ran into an issue with students signing in to Chrome on shared computers. This causes major issues when new students log in to the same machine on a shared account. I will be testing this workaround to remove the screen and hopefully avoid the issue in the future!

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!

Get more cloud storage space. You know you want it. This is like Dropbox in how you upload and store and/or share docs and images. It is also the same in how you as a user get more space. Invite others! The ability to share large files that email can't handle is comparable to DB, but I think the sharing is set up in a more intuitive way. Faculties could use for sharing on specific projects -especially if it is a non google school.

Shared by Paul Workentine - I just ran across this set of purchase guides for doing church videos. They are suggested equipment purchase lists for 4 different categories $135 $1500 $5000 $20000 I have not checked out all the equipment, but thought this might be useful to share with churches looking to get into broadcasting their services.

Shared by Cindy Krueger I've been following Jenn's Trends on Facebook for social media hints and tips. I'm sharing her recent blog post about protecting and recovering hacked social media accounts. One item of note is the LogDog tool to help protect your accounts. This topic is of special concern because I know a couple people with high profile accounts that have been hacked recently. Fortunately each was able to work with the social media company to get the account restored. Maybe less of a concern for churches and schools that have in person contact with followers but still something people will want to avoid if possible.

Document sharing, converting, and viewing tool.

Richard Byrne shares his evaluation of bit.ly

"Vocaroo is a quick and easy way to share voice messages over the interwebs." Use a headset or internal microphone to record directly on the site, and then embed, share, or download the audio file. Might use this on our KidBlogs to have students share orally.

An interesting look at our stuff from the Table ... "Even though the average size of our homes and personal garages have doubled over the last 50 years and the average number in each house has declined from 4.5 in 1916 to 2.6 today."

One caution with this link. One of the apps mentioned "Four Spiritual Laws" does not reflect our theology, and can't be recommended as a tool to share our faith. Perhaps this could serve as an encouragement to develop an app that does share our faith and accurately reflects our theology.

Thanks for the review and caution. I tagged this quick so I wouldn't lose it but hadn't looked at the recommendations in detail. Always good to exercise discernment.
