It will automatically calculate the mileage, remember every place you have traveled to or from, and it will put it into a format for reimbursement. Because this is formatted specifically for Denver Public Schools, you may need to modify it for your own purposes. Here is the link to get you started: http://bit.ly/dpsmileage

I’m pretty sure this would mean we could use hangouts with kids without having to turn on plus and hangouts with teachers without having them upgrade their domain accounts to plus. Hmm…

Hangouts now supports any Google Apps customer account

We’ve heard from educators that multi-way video calling would be a useful tool for learning. It would help students connect with experts and with each other, and would help educators teach remotely and collaborate with their peers. So starting today, Hangouts video meetings support any Google Apps customer account (http://goo.gl/L5xha4), including those without a Google+ profile. Google Apps customers can start or join a high-definition video meeting that connects 15 participants from their computer (and coming soon for mobile and tablet). Multi-way calling will also be available if you’re using Google Talk. 

To help you get started, we’ve put together 10 ways to use multi-way video calling in class: http://goo.gl/93b1c4. We can’t wait to see how you’ll use this new feature.

This doc is the list of folks who have not received enough ratings, and I wanted to ask this community to help pitch in and rate the last few so that everyone gets a fair shake at feedback. Go team!

What I'm Using: My two favorite sites for analyzing Google+ data

Every once in a while, I have a need to analyze my own Google+ data or that of someone else. Luckily, these two tools do an amazing of helping me to understand the ins and outs of the data. Let me know if you find them useful.

CircleCount.com ? Google+ Statistics – Get your CircleRank & see the most popular people at Google+

The number of followers is a metric that measures a person’s influence on Google+. The higher the number, the higher the person’s influence since more followers are likely to view this person’s posts.

All my + Statistics

All my + Statistics. This script will read the public data available through the Google+ API or all your data downloaded via Google Takeout and present various statistics.

What I'm Learning: Consulting startups on the use of Google Glass in Schools already exist.

I’m intrigued by the idea that these kinds of consulting startups, and practitioner blogs are already at this level. Definitely one to watch.
