Google for Teachers

Another Google post!

Here's an interesting list of the 25 ways Google can make you a better teacher. Hmmm. By better, I think they mean more efficient, organized, and more engaging. Great resource!

Turn any doc into a signable online form

Here's an interesting tool: Chalk. It allows users to upload any document and turn it into an online form to be signed or filled out. Chalk allows the owner of the document to set the rules for how the forms are completed, tracks when a form is viewed or completed, sends reminders to people you've sent the form to, and allows users to download and print the completed forms from any computer. Here's a complete review from Educational Technology and Mobile Learning.

Scannable

After browsing through the Educational Technology and Mobile Learning blog, I discovered an exciting new tool from Evernote called Scannable. The app, which is designed for both iPads and iPhones, allows users to "scan" their documents by taking pictures of them and easily uploading them into the Scannable app.  Users can then store and share the documents from one saved location. It's a great way to organize and store hand written notes/letters, business cards, sticky notes, etc.
