Google took a step toward greater enterprise adoption of its hosted e-mail, document, and collaboration services this week by removing the "beta" tag from its Google Apps brand. "We have taken a razor-sharp focus on removing barriers to hosted solutions for the enterprise this year, and today we took the beta tag question right off the table," said Andrew Kovacs, a Google spokesperson, in a phoneTim Foster's Page

We are using Edline (yes, I realize it is CMS, not LMS) and are considering switching to Moodle. I was thinking that it might be a good idea to start using Moodle to supplement what Edline can't do, like blogs and wikis, for a year to get everyone...

Our Brainyflix video contest just ended, and I wanted to thank you for helping us get the word out. We got 800 submissions from across the country!
That said, MIT was really happy with the results and will let us run another contest, so we're going for it! But this time, we're gonna have kids create Brainypics flashcards - which are images and sentences paired up with a one of our SAT/ACT words. The contest ends May 22nd, and there'll be iTunes and a cash prize like last time. To boot, we'll double the payout if the kids can hit a certain goal. More details at brainyflix.com/main/contest_rules.
Do you mind passing my message along to the education college again?
Thanks,
Jack

- I just added a group that I think you might be interested in, “Educational Technologists.” http://www.classroom20.com/group/instructionaltechnologists I am hoping this group can grow and we will be able to support each other and collaborate so that we can better support our colleagues.

- Hi Tm,
With your work in Instructional Technology and desire for ideas, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service.
