Love freezing columns and rows and this shortcut will save time in setting it up! Thanks Gooru!

Need to try this out some time

Create a professional looking site in minutes.  "So simple it's silly." Check out the sample Education site. Many times I talk with people who don't want a blog but a web site. Here's a free an easy option for setting up a web site.

I ordered these discs to go along with Glo Premium so that I don't have to stream everything to my primary computer.  Three DVDs arrived in about 2 days.  Total cost with about $12 with shipping.  Install time says 1-3 hours!  18 GB

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...

Always a good time to change passwords. And in this case, motivation to not use a common password!

National Cybersecurity Awareness Month is a great time to educate yourself and your users. Not sure where to start? We've got you covered! We'll send you a set of resources that you can use throughout the entire month to help your users make smarter security decisions every day.

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/

YouCanBook.Me is an appointment scheduling tool that works with Google Calendar. We are looking for a solution for scheduling home visits and parent/teacher conferences. This might work well!

I used this for home visits this past summer and it worked great. For me, the only drawback was less control over scheduling. I was criss-crossing the county a couple of days because they pick the days and times, but otherwise it worked well for me and it was really easy. The parents thought it was easy too.

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.

In case you wanted to teach yourself a little CSS with your extra time this summer... ;)

Free option I ran across. Seems to work pretty well. I tested it in a classroom with one leading the session and two joining it. I was impressed with the short lag time between the presenter and the viewers.

So sad, I use this all the time!

Like easybib, but does APA style for free!

Just wanted to pull this one up again - good for schools that may be starting research papers with students for the first time.

As it says, shorten multiple links at one time - bundled.

Pretty cool info-graphic! A picture of the time in which we live and communicate!
