There are so many ways to use Google in education (how did I ever lesson plan before Google???). Obviously the most popular ones are search, docs, and maps but there are so many other applications available to us now: Google docs for collaborative writing, publishing an online quiz using Google docs, embedding books into blogs . . .
Free4Teachers.com offers this great 33 page guide about google for teachers. Enjoy!

Scholarships for California School Teachers
The Center for Ecoliteracy is pleased to announce the availability of scholarships for California public school teachers to attend the Center's summer seminar, Schooling for Sustainability: Strategies That Make Teaching and Learning Come Alive.
The seminar will be held June 23-25, 2010 at the David Brower Center in Berkeley, California. It will offer ideas, resources, and inspiration to make sustainability education more engaging, effective, and memorable.
During this time of budget cutbacks for California public schools, we offer these scholarships as a gesture of our heartfelt respect for California educators who are doing so much to advance sustainability education, says Zenobia Barlow, executive director and cofounder of the Center for Ecoliteracy.
The seminar will build on the Center for Ecoliteracy's acclaimed book, Smart by Nature: Schooling for Sustainability, and includes presentations by sustainability education leaders, exposure to inspiring projects, hands-on practice with techniques that work, and reflective conversations with seminar faculty and fellow educators.
Faculty include the Center for Ecoliteracys cofounder and board chair Fritjof Capra; cofounder and executive director Zenobia Barlow; and education program director Carolie Sly. It will also include Kirk Bergstrom, founder and executive director of WorldLink, which produced the upcoming PBS special, Nourish.
Available scholarships include:
* Full tuition scholarships for California educators who have demonstrated leadership in sustainability education or food systems change. Donated by Nourish California, a project of Worldlink, these scholarships include a travel and lodging stipend.
* Partial scholarships for educators from low- and middle-income communities in San Francisco, Oakland, Albany, and Napa. Made possible through the generous contribution of private donors, they cover $375 of the $425 tuition fee.
Preference will be given to educators who apply as part of a team.
Deadline: Friday, April 30, 2010.
