Phraseology (iPad only) and Terminology (iPhone, iPad) are two low cost, high quality integrated writing tools useful for any writing task on the go from tweets to instructions, multipage reports, sermons, etc. Terminology (iPhone & iPad), in addition to its built in dictionary and thesaurus, allows you to chose which online word tools to check and integrate into your lookups/research. Phraseology (iPad only) is a friendly editing environment which is especially useful breaking down your word/phrase usage and frequency. Pay attention to the Flesch Kincaid Reading and Grade level scores along with other readability statistics, including root word frequency, and you can improve the comprehension of your written or oral presentation. Most pastors and teachers who either compose or copy-paste-revise content taking into account Phraseology's feedback should be able to greatly improve their audience's comprehension. Interested in tired old phrase remediation or reductions in redundancies and passive platitudes? Anyone?

Blog post pointing to tutorial/quiz for using Google Earth. Great resource for teachers looking to integrate this tool into classroom instruction.

Some good ideas for some of our smaller schools where you might be a teacher/basketball coach/IT director/janitor/helpdesk/crossing-guard all in one?

Use this tool to allow people to book times on your Google Calendar.

Great tool - maybe a way to schedule conferences? I'll try it this fall and let you know how it goes!

Take a look at PicKATime for conference scheduling. Ours is up right now so you could look at it on our site - emanuelnl.org/school Works great and parents love it; not free through. $50 a conference. We think it is worth it. The secretary sets it all up and teachers have access and see their own scheduled conference times. I find youcanbook me works well for teachers setting up individual conference tmes with me for purposes of their tech growth planning throughout the year.

Our freetechnologyforteachers blogger Richard Byrne has developed an excellent guide for some of the less well-used features of Google's apps suite (or should I say, "sweet" ;)

I plan on checking these out (especially the grade book). I'll be writing a blog post about the grade book site as soon as I have a chance to look at it with more detail.

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.

Free online typing tutor optimized for classroom use.  And it just got better with improved teacher management tools.
