An add on for Google Calendar called Better Gcal that enhances Google Calendar. (Note though that I'm looking for another one b/c the comments say this update isn't working.)

This wiki page is one of the most definitive Google Calendar how-to guides that I've ever see. They did a great job of organizing things! Awesome! I especially like the features on how to print in custom ways at the bottom of this!

Excellent article on what Google wave is intended to be: a step up from email to allow for document collaboration. OK, now I finally get it. Seeing people talk about it replacing twitter, etc. I was like "nah - not with THIS" but seeing this blog post made the light go on - a must read for those who want to truly understand what google wave is for and to not get so hyper about what it isn't.

This is Google's website that will make it easier for you to get your data out of Google. This is certainly an admirable thing for Google to do, but perhaps has practical applications as well - putting the onus of backup back on the users.

Yes, This is it! This is what happens. You use a great tool with one class and it spreads to your other classes without you having to say a word! They are teaching each other in their spare time - it is the most amazing thing when you see it happen and Anne Mirtschin is blogging about it from Australia. I love Anne dearly - she is an amazing inspiration to me and works so hard!

Google Maps turns on family location services giving you the "latitude" to track people in your family. With privacy concerns abounding, the service has still launched. Take a look and incorporate this into your digital citizenship and safety discussions.

Diigo is going to work out a way to pull in your notebook into Google Lists. Time and again, Maggie Tsai and this company work to bring really cool things for educators. They are a hard working crew and I LOVE their service. Something about working with people who listen to educators.

I look forward to this!!

As Google shuts down unprofitable services, this thought that they'll shut down Google Reader - my trusty and favorite RSS reader just sends chills down my spine - I use it to generate my reader lists on my blogs.

I have to question that Google is not looking at the affect of what we call "penetration rate" into the services people use - if they push us to ZohoNotebook (which is what they've done) and force us to another reader, what else will we start using. Just thought Google was going in the right direction with things and now... well, they just seem to be pooping lots of parties.

OK, we have Google Video, Google Notebook, and Google Catalog Search that are the next victims of Google's bloody axe, joining Lively in the Google App graveyard.

Time to get everything out of there!

A link from twitter from rorowe (http://twitter.com/rorowe) on twitter about how to sync Gmails and calendars w/ the itouch. Plodding through this to see if it is what I want to do.

I actually looked at this and am synching through Outlook for just my personal calendar and then accessing google calendars as a web app over wifi. So, I'm just going to set this up for the contacts for now just to get them on my itouch.

Students in the phillipines have made a wiki in support of Lively. They are sharing their avatars and the rooms that they have made along with screenshots of their rooms and avatars. This is a wonderful thing to see that other kids are using this website.

Kids love virtual worlds and there are great applications. Google is making a mistake. I WISH WISH they would listen to these students who see great potential.
