"Skype is a great way of calling people from all over the world. However, it lacks the call-record feature. One way to utilize this feature is to use the MP3 Skype Recorder program. This software can automatically record all your incoming and outgoing Skype calls. The output audio's format is MP3, so it's easy for you to listen and share the recorded call. You can use it as a podcast or as an instructional audio."

"The Interesting Ways to Use series has been really successful. I measure their success in how useful they are to teachers and other educators in helping with professional development. They have been a great example of crowdsourcing good quality classroom ideas and it has been great fun connecting with all of the people who have taken time to add an idea. It is remarkable what can be achieved and created together if you give people the right way to do it. Thanks for all the help so far. It all began with One Idea, One Slide and One Image as a premise for the IWB presentation and that has always remained. I hope we can all continue to create them - let me know if you have any other ideas for a presentation. I wanted to keep the family together in one place and give you one page to see them all, as so many of you have requested. Don't forget that if you want to contribute an idea just let me know and I will give you access to share your thoughts."

"Over the past two years, more than half of the 23 campuses in the California State University system have migrated their students to Google Apps for Education. And in the coming months, other campuses will join them."

Soople is an early English dialect, which means 'to soften, make supple'. That's exactly what I envisioned for this site ; a site that softens all the fantastic advanced functions Google offers. This site is meant for all those who are not yet familiar with all the possibilities of Google and all the required syntaxes. For instance, one can specify a search by one particuliar site or filetype( word, excel, powerpoint and pdf) or an imagesearch by size and type. Furthermore there are many useful tools Google offers; search in the latest news, look up definitions or use Google as a phonebook. And last but not least, the Calculator. This amazing tool let's you do all kind of (very advanced) calculations. Soople has added the unit-converter, which is based on this calculator, for the conversion of all the commmon units/measures (metersyards). Quite supple, if you ask me. Have a lot of Google-fun Soople is in no way affiliated with or endorsed by Google
