Great resource for instructional designers and classroom teachers - Chris

I have to agree with Wes-I am also using about 75% oh these apps - Chris

This is an excellent addition for Google. When working with kids in the classroom, we want to make sure that we are CIPA compliant at minimum and this is one great way to help achieve that. - Chris

I can't understand why my local district invests in facilities that support an old model of education. I wish that the state and local districts would begin to transition their programs even at a small level. - Chris

All of us in the beta test are really trying to wrap our heads around Wave and its potential. This is a good starting point for anyone who is on Wave or interested in Wave. However, since there are so many features NOT working in Wave it really remains to be seen what the true power of the application will be. - Chris

Awesome--no more using a combination of Greasemonkey and scripts. That was an OK solution, but it's nice to have an integrated way to download my content to an external drive for archiving. - Chris

If you're not yet a GCT, then definitely consider applying for this. It's a full day of shock and awe. I went in knowing a ton about Google, but walked away with so much more at the end of they day. - Chris

I have been raving over this product for months now and will finally be able to share my enthusiasm with others! - Chris

Google is making almost every day feel like Christmas lately. There is not enough time in the day to play with all of the toys they are rolling out. - Chris

Finally! This seriously has been such a long time coming :) - Chris

Timely additions to Google Sites that will make it into my workshop at Central Valley CUE this Saturday! - Chris

This is not necessarily edtech related, but it's such an awesome concept. This site brings together both consumers and producers to create a supply chain of local food logistics. Eat local--it's the greenest way to go. - Chris

Thinking about testing this out for my classes. Wondering if anyone out there in my PLN is using this in a classroom setting. - Chris

Watch dy/dan get his math on. Something is wrong with the state of education when a teacher like Dan is pink slipped due to budget cuts. - Chris

Just demoed this in a class today and was pleasantly surprised to see the new options. Of course I played it off like they have been there for a long time... - Chris

Excellent! With the introduction of this feature, Google Forms moves another step closer to skip logic which will really make using Forms for longer, extensive surveys from multiple stakeholders. - Chris

It's good to see that Google is finding a workaround for those who continue to use what is, in my opinion, a completely inferior browser. - Chris

This could be a great project in the classroom if you incorporate a writing component. - Chris

Lots of neat updates in this version of SketchUp. I am so excited to be able to use with my students in a couple of months. - Chris

Wow-is $WIN more environmentally friendly than Apple? Obviously I'm joking, but this is an interesting comparison. - Chris

Google is letting the masses make decisions on which features to add in future iterations. This is excellent! - Chris

Google is really working to leverage the power of community. Image labeler and google 3d warehouse are excellent examples where they are having the massives contribute in small ways. The image labeler is made into a game with the goal of helping Google improve the relevance of image search. - Chris

Excellent--this could also work well for mindmaps and brainstorming sessions with students. - Chris

Great features added to Forms. I am still waiting for the ability to rearrange answers when developing a form. It's a real pain if you're building a question with a long set of alphabetical multiple choice responses. I am also waiting for the ability to add images to questions. - Chris

Wonder Wheel is an excellent way to visually represent search and is now included in all of my workshops/lessons on search. - Chris

These are some welcomed changes. I especially like the ability to copy sites. This make pushing out templates easier for sure. - Chris

Stoked! I have been waiting for this feature to be built in ever since I moved from Evernote to Tasks. I made the move because I found Evernote was more than I needed and it often was distracting. Tasks is integrated into my calendars, gmail, iGoogle, etc. so it makes me always aware of what I need to do that day (or in the future for other lists). - Chris

This is an excellent resource for high school or college students either studying CS or dabbling in code. - Chris
