Reflections on Google

I can't believe it's already March. Second semester is flying by and it's going great! I have been giving professional development on Quizlet and I'm about to do one on Liveninders. I've got a small group who are really interested and who are already implementing Quizlet. It's awesome! I've been implementing a lot of technology in Creative Writing. All my students have LiveBinders portfolios. We are putting all of our writing assignments in Blogger and Google Docs. It's going pretty smoothly. One issue we have been having is that students forget their passwords all the time. We could use an easier way to reset them. Also, I'm concerned. Will students lose all their documents when they graduate from GCS? I'd really like for them to be able to keep their portfolios even after graduation. Has anyone played with Aviary yet? We are going to do a performance poetry piece and I was trying to decide if we should use Audacity or Aviary or something else.
