This little 3 minute video is a great way to introduce Copyright and Creative Commons to middle/upper graders. Simple enough to get started with how these two, CR and CC, work together for good.

Great piece on Chrombook comparison.

Besides making page templates for use in site creation, G Sites is great for making site templates. I just did one for a LA ePortfolio I will have all students in grades 5-8 create this year. This gal responded to my G+ post and set a great video that shows how easy the task really is. Clears up confusion about where the template actually goes when you are working in a domain.

Should have mentioned how I barely scratched the surface of the NEW Doceri app when I showed it on screen on Tuesday. This is really now a powerful tool - check it out!

Great place to start if you've heard about and are curious about using badges in your classroom. Thinking of going that way to try it out.

Google Forms I would have liked to point out on Saturday! Really help the work load if they fit a task you already do.

Another great resource to help teach these important concepts.

Interesting concept the Chrome is thinking about....and proof that it is going to be very aware of its education customers. Supervised User.

YouVersion is offering its NIV2011 for a free download so you can read offline if no network connection is available. They do this periodically, so get it while it is offered - free. Almost any device can use this app.

A great reminder of why we use technology in the classroom. Check out the posters at the bottom of the post. Great for inservice........

As Sallie was Googling at the Summit at WLC, I was presenting at a one to one conference down the road at CUW. We explored the philosophy in connection to the possiblities offered by chromebooks, tablets, etc. In my research, Dave Tess and Jason Schmidt came through with some information on the latest chromebooks and their inability to project easily through VGA projectors. This is another reason that chrombooks can't be considered a teacher's main device, IMHO. Also, this information impacts purchasing of classroom projectors for the future.

This app from the chrome store can be used on chrome browser, chromebook, iPad, or iphone. Sync. If you already use drop box this is a must. OPen the app and you can start a new document or open one from your drop box or google drive and start working. Makes data flow in the ipad world a snap.

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.

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

Good reading to accompany the digital image pyramid of web 2.0 tools that I shared a while ago. Explanation of where some of the tools fit in Bloom's Taxonomy and why.

Some great ideeas for those who love Voicethread!
