Video: Google Forms

Watch this short 2 min video

Google Docs has a Forms feature where you can easily create and publish a web-based/email survey or form, then as participants fill in the form, the responses get aggregated live into one web-based spreadsheet. The implications of this technology are endless for work (surveys, applications, etc.) and education (quizzes, see this digital scantron template one educator created).

How to Search, Collect, and Cite Images on the Web

How to Search for Images
EdVibes has started Project CC. Here you will find a list of some of the best directories, search engines, and links for finding safe to use creative commons content (image and audio). One of my new favorite image search engines is Yahoo's Advanced Image Search. Yahoo just knocked off Google Image Search because of their nice "search only creative commons licesend content" feature.  See screenshot below.
