Blogging about Google Apps

Although there are many formatting glitches that often deter me from using Google Apps, I am confident that they can be used to make me a more efficient educator.

that I have grown more as an educator in the last 6 months than in any

other time period in my life.

The world in which we live is changing faster than anyone could ever
