For my Android device friends - Sounds pretty cool! From a Netted e-mail: Everything.me is a new launcher that can change which apps appear on your phone based on your current needs. The kicker? You don't even have to install the apps; you can use them right from the cloud.   So let's say you love the new Vampire Weekend album. Plug it into the search bar and Everything.me will pull up SoundCloud so you can listen, MetroLyrics so you can sing along, and Ticketmaster so you can see them live - regardless of whether or not you've installed those apps.   And Everything.me tailors each app to your search result. Each app opens to the relevant Vampire Weekend page. Heck, even the background will be Vampire Weekend. Your phone effectively reinvents itself based on what you're doing right now.

Not so much a technology post, but think it over - giant outdoor bananagrams...  Okay, I mostly thought Sallie would enjoy this one, but perhaps others could make use of it.  It'd be a good first day of school activity as well.

Love it!!! Thanks for sharing!

Might be useful if anyone has a personal Kindle or has a few in the classroom.

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.

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.

From listener Brent Nolte - Awesome tool for those of us who don't have an eye for these things.

Haven't tested this out yet, but seems like a great feature. Looks like it is a free and paid service level thing. I was skeptical of Proclaim's price to value ratio, but the more we use it the more it seems to be worth the monthly/annual expense.

I can agree with one of the don't use, we had our church with one of those before we moved to FinalWeb. We have been with FinalWeb for a few years and they have been slow to release responsive designs out. Their streaming service is affordable and solid. They do now have app options which I have seen but not explored.

Interesting episode with a former teacher, now presenter for other teachers on teaching the "gifted and talented" student. The episode isn't so much about the education end, as much as the technology behind Ian's work. Website looks very useful for teachers. http://www.byrdseed.com/
