This is referring to Apps for business, Ryan. I certainly hope the Google Apps for Education will continue to be free now that many educators and schools are depending on them. If not, there will be some dramatic changes that need to be made.

There was a free version that would allow you to have up to 10 users. This version has been eliminated for new users. I am making use of this version since my school is not accredited, which is a requirement to use Apps for Education.

Well, I guess we did not have to wait long. Seems to have a lot of the features that I use in Springpad webapp, and is connected with Drive. I look forward to test driving it on my Nexus 7, and in Chrome in the weeks ahead.

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.

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.

An interesting take on the topic. Not really 11, many are about how hard it is to sing with the displays. I have noticed that in some congregations we visit. I post this not to endorse the 11, but so that those of us that may be advocating for such technology understand the level of despise that may come with the displays from some members.

The article is mostly an interview with Covenant Eyes, who makes accountability software and recently produced a free e-book for parents. I downloaded it to check it out and ended up reading the first four chapters just today. Chapters are short and include discussion questions. For a non-WELS resource, so far they do a fairly good job of being gospel-centered/grace-driven. Looks like a great resource.

Brainstorming is a powerful but underutilized tool in Christian ministry, education, and in the body of Christ in general. This article gives practical guidance for moderating a secular brainstorming session. What solutions might we Christians discover when we steep our hearts and minds in God's Word, prayerfully gather, inviting the Creator-Spirit to open our eyes and minds to see the creative opportunies which God's challenges ("obstacles") occasion.

Understanding our habits and those of others . . How might Christians and churches better use life events, like pregnancies, as opportunities for the Gospel? Target figures out who's pregnant to influence their buying habits. How might we "gentle as dove wise as serpent" ambassadors of Christ act and speak to make the most of opportunities to present the best free offer every conceived . . . salvation? Note that the article is a plug for the author's full length treatment of "habits".

Excellent short article with essential IT management concerns and strategies for colleges and other non-profits, including  our synod, high schools, schools and, yes, churches. The same key questions and communication activities need to take place. The upfront costs of an IT system are only the beginning. The costs over the lifetime of the system (even a single computer with software) need to be included and budgeted.
