Cloud printing on the go
Cloud printing on the go: "Cross posted on the the Gmail Blog and the Google Mobile Blog
Back in April 2010 we announced Google Cloud Print, a service in beta that allows printing from any app on any device, OS or browser without the need to install any software. Just last month we opened Google Cloud Print to users in the Chrome notebook pilot program. Today we are very pleased to announce the beta launch of Google Cloud Print for mobile documents and Gmail for mobile, which we will be rolling out to users throughout the next few days.
Imagine printing an important document from your smartphone on the way to work and finding the printout waiting for you when you walk in the door. Just open a document in Google Docs or an email in Gmail in your mobile browser and choose “Print” from the dropdown menu in the top right corner. You can also print certain kinds of email attachments (such as .pdf or .doc) by clicking the “Print” link that appears next to them.
This feature will be rolling out today and tomorrow for English speaking users in the US and will work on most phones that support HTML5, such as devices running Android 2.1+ and iOS 3+. To get started, you’ll need to connect your printer to Google Cloud Print. This step requires a Windows PC for now, but Linux and Mac support are coming soon. You can learn more at the Google Cloud Print help center.

USDOE Releases National Education Technology Plan
The United State Department of Education has posted their draft National Education Technology Plan (NETP), which was released March 5, 2010. It provides the context and vision for how information and communication technologies can help transform American education. The plan provides a set of concrete goals to inform state and local educational technology plans, as well as recommendations to inspire research, development, and innovation.
The United States Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan, on the plan:
We have the opportunity to completely reform our nation’s schools. We’re not talking about tinkering around the edges here. We’re talking about a fundamental re-thinking of how our schools function—and placing a focus on teaching and learning like never before.
For more information and to read the draft, summary, and a transcript of Secretary Duncan’s speech: click here.

SMART Board Resources and Training Materials
At November's Tech Liaisons meeting we covered a lot of material in regards to how to make the most from your SMART Board. I'm sure many of you had your eyes opened as to the potential for this humble piece of equipment. That being said, it was a lot to take in. Luckily, SMART offers free online training videos to help you brush up and/or expand your mastery of the SMART Tools at your finger tips.
Enjoy: http://smarttech.com/trainingcenter/
Another great resource is Tequipment's Educator Resource Center. The ERC has tips and tricks submitted by SMART Board gurus and educators like yourself.
