This is a presentation I am doing for the Wisconsin Google Summit

Google+ is Google's new social network that is now open to k-12 institutions. This tool includes many features that make it ideal for classroom integration and continued learning. With features like communities you can connect with other people who have similar interests or be used for classroom collaboration. It includes hangouts that can bring up to 15 people from around the world collaborating together with video and screen sharing. Google+ can benefit teachers, and administrators, used to provide Professional Development, and continued education.

Question from a teacher of mine, and I don't have an iPad: 

Is there a way in iMovie on the ipad to slow down a video?
Is there a way to trim inside a clip and not just from one side or the other?

Bug in AutoCrate when using multiple sign-in (which I know is a thorn in App Script).  

When AutoCrat looks for a document template it appears to look at the default account and not the one the document is being worked on from.

"The importance of the black board as an instrument of instruction in the common school, has been insisted on in every periodical on education which I have seen, either of this country or Europe; as well as in almost every recent treatise on the same subject.  It has also been introduced into most of our improved schools, of every grade, especially in New England and New York. In many of common schools, however, it has been but barely introduced. The teacher knows almost as little how to use it as his pupils. It is in vain that our more intelligent Committees and even the Secretaries of our Boards of Education urge the importance of its use, from year to year, so long as no instruction is given concerning its use."

You can now start to have a conversation with search on all your devices—including your desktop or laptop. We’re rolling out the new conversational search functionality over the next few days in +Google Chrome, so you can ask Google about “Italian restaurants in San Francisco” and continue the conversation with “how about Chinese." Or find out “who is the prime minister of Australia” then ask “how old is she”—and Google will give you a spoken answer. Just click the mic in the Google search bar and speak up.  Also, be sure to have the volume up on your computer to hear your answer loud and clear.

Does anyone know of a good article that justifies BYOD in the school system.   My principal and my self want it, but people above us have been told it was a bad thing.
