Last Wednesday our class was treated to a presentation on Google apps by Shawn Kleebaum . It was very useful to see how we could get around school fire walls to take advantage of google apps such as calendar using Google Apps Education. I will use this app when I move into my first full time position as I believe the opportunities are endless. Everyone can be involved, including parents, with the use of Google Education. You could set up different calendars and documents for classes and sports teams under different email addresses. The applications are easy to use with instructional videos. When searching around I also noticed that google education will do your marking for you! What an amazing application and it's all free.
I like Picasa although I can't see it catching on among my friends. The only reason I'm still on facebook is because everyone is and I like to see everyones photos as well as share mine. I like the privacy that comes with Picasa over Facebook much much more.
On a side note I'll have to speak about the challenges to providing fair playing time in my next post.
Until next game...
Coach T.

Juice, unfortunately I missed the presentation on Wednesday so its hard for me to talk about it with you haha. From what you posted, i agree It is always good to know how to get around firewalls in the school and the calendar pretty much speaks for itself. WHat is picasa? is it the same as other social networking? Im glad to know the applications are easy to use. It makes teaching so much easier and thye can be applied for students and parents to catch on.
