A small school’s BIG cost
Small schools (K12 and Colleges with less than 1,000 students) are accustomed like all of us to accessing email around the clock. We know email is habit forming at best and compulsive at worst. The new economy proves funding 24/7 in-house email services can be staggering as budgets are slashed. Many schools have embraced [...]

Google’s Learning Management System

To no surprise CloudCourse is fully integrated with Google Calendar. Google has also made [...]

Keep it simple Google
On top of introducing a new YouTube channel for Google’s Wave solution, Google is taking the “keep it simple stupid” approach to talking about Wave. Their first go-round was a two hour video….and in today’s short attention span economy – who had the time?

Google puts Wave tutorials on YouTube
Imagine that! In the “what took so long” category Google has finally released a series of good video training session all about their real-time communication and collaboration tool Google Wave.

Google providing migration tools for Microsoft Exchange

Google migration from Exchange:
The process to migrate looks [...]

Impressive update to Google Docs
Google’s impressive tool just received a nice upgrade. For most users the new updates further justify migrating away from Office. When you consider Google gives this away for free (especially to schools)….well a good thing just got even better.
From Google:
A better document editor

A Google fail
Google’s much talked about community fiber project has been initially addressed at their Official blog. Yet much to my surprise (Is it just me — think about it) they posted all the cities who applied in a static graphic — but not an interactive Google Map!
Please tell me that a data driven company like Google [...]

Is Google Wave a “failure” ?
I cannot help but share my thoughts about all those who are predicting the stillbirth of Google Wave. Since this topic frequently hits the popular list at del.icio.us more than I care to see, its worth reminding everyone that beta or “limited preview” as Google refers to Wave is just that – a preview [...]
