"The Infinite Thinking Machine (ITM) is designed to help teachers and students thrive in the 21st century. Through an active blog, an Internet TV show, and other media resources, the ITM shares a "bazillion practical ideas" for turning the infinite universe of information into knowledge."

Google for Educators

Google has assembled a number of resources to support teachers. I have listed some of them below.

Tools for your classroom
This page includes many of the Google Tools that educators might want to use. There is a link on this page to classroom activities, which includes pdfs on how to use the tools as well as how they are being used. There is also a link to posters you might want to hang in your classroom.

Collaborate with other educators using Google tools.

Google Teacher Center
This is another area to find information about using Google tools. It includes a discussion area where Google posts newsletters for teachers.

Google Apps for Educators
Looking to outsource some of your technology needs (ie: email). Check out this area. You can use your own domain name, but Google will take care of the technology side.
