ipad battery draining fast

If your Ipad2 or 3 seems to have a battery draining faster and faster, check Apple's battery  recommendations here, and also try this.

If you see no difference and your ipad is under waranty,  then contact Apple' support.

If you are not sure whether your ipad is still covered, just enter its serial number here.

Back from Google Apps Bootcamp

I participated in a very rich bootcamp on Google Apps for education this summer. Here is the 12-hour schedule we followed. Each activity is linked to tutorials you may find useful. Naturally, I'll be happy to go over these with you:

Google customized search (much more than you would suspect, definitely useful for Common Core)
Google Sites
Google Calendar
Google Docs
More tools...
