I ran across the videos that were focused on Education at the I/O conference this year. I think the positioning of Google Play in Education and Google Apps are really interesting. What do you think about the way they are encouraging development in this realm?

Megan McQuinn here. I’m the teacher librarian at Farrell B. Howell EC-8 in the Far Northeast. I’m excited to expand my learning through all of your suggestions. Though I’m enjoying summer vacation all sorts of ideas for the new school year are running through my mind. Can’t wait to read everyone’s submissions.

Announcing School Directory Sync
The #GoogleEDU team is down in Atlanta for #ISTE2014, showing off tools that help with more teaching and less tech-ing. We want to give school administrators more time back too, so today we are announcing School Directory Sync, a new version of the Google Apps Directory Sync (GADS) tool built specifically for schools.
This utility allows an admin to export data from their student information system (SIS) and quickly sync it to their Google Apps for Education domain. With this tool it’s easy to create users, organizational units, and Google Groups, and also to keep everything in sync.
Larry Steinke, Technology Director of Saint Francis High School in California, who helped us build and test the tool says, “The ability to auto-create groups, folders and permission sets driven by course enrollment is of extraordinary value to us. The sync tool alone is worth thousands of dollars to a large school when compared to the custom sync-software that is often required.”
The utility is available for download here: http://goo.gl/kPFwTi

What I'm Using: Notable PDF – A Collaborative PDF Editor
I quite like this chrome extension. It really does seem to do everything I haven’t been able to do within the PDF viewer in Google Docs.
Cloud-based PDF Viewer for your Browser view, annotate, share and collaborate
So, you want to edit Office files in Chrome without converting to Google Docs first? Yeah, me too.

This is going to change everything (for the better)! I can’t wait!

Oh and one more thing…new home screens on the web
As you hopefully saw in our post earlier today, Docs, Sheets, and Slides got some major updates to help you get work done on any device, any time, on any file. But there’s one more thing that we still need to tell you about.
Since launching the mobile apps, many of you have asked for a consistent experience on the web that makes it easy to get back to your most relevant and recently edited documents, spreadsheets, and presentations.
Over the next few weeks, we’ll be gradually rolling out new home screens for Docs, Sheets, and Slides on the web, similar to what you have seen on mobile, at:
Your most recently edited documents are available right at the top, you can quickly create something new with a click on the + button, edit Office files by installing the new Chrome extension (http://goo.gl/yHbngd), and once you enable offline editing, everything on your home screen is editable even when you’re not connected to the Internet.
Stay tuned to the links above—the new home screens will be rolling out to everyone over the next couple of weeks.
