Tribbles! I’m not quite old enough to have watched the Star Trek episode featuring the fuzzy little critters when it first aired back in 1967. However, I do remember as a kid staying over at my friend Egan’s house playing Star Trek the board game while waiting for the midnight reruns of Star Trek…

What do a rooted nook color, a CR-48 and Le Grand High School’s new iMac lab all have in common? They all make an appearance in my Google Teacher Academy Application Video this time around.

Today I received a response to my Google Apps for Education Certification email (see last post) and it reminded me of how new this whole Google Apps Certified Trainer thing is. The certification itself has been available for less than a year and the awesome web site for about the same. By the way, if…
