Piazza is a free online gathering place where students can ask, answer, and explore 24/7, under the guidance of their instructors. Students as well as instructors can answer questions, fueling a healthy, collaborative discussion.
Dennis T OConnor's insight:
Teachers in the blended or flipped environment should investigate this powerful discussion system. Lots of nuances and you can't beat the price (free). Delete the scoop?

Tools for Your Small Business - Online Data Backup Services - Small Business HUB (New Zealand)
Dennis T OConnor's insight:
Here you'll get a list of online back up services. Bottom line as an online pro I need all my workfiles in a secure cloud. Now that I"m actually using my Carbonite account to recover from a total laptop meltdown, I've had an account for two years on two machines, This is the first time I've needed it. I'm glad I have a service. (Not so happy that it will take 3 days to restore the files or an hour in que to get through to tech support.) It's always nice to have alternates. Let's see if hot competion improves service and drives down prices. Delete the scoop?

"Taggstar enables visitors to your site explore images and discover valuable content." Via Jim Lerman
Dennis T OConnor's insight:
I installed the code on several of my blogs. Now when I'm logged in and editing my blog, I can add hyperlinked hotspots to any image. I could do this with an HTML editor, but Taggstar makes it a much easier process. Any diagram or image you post on a blog could become quite an interactive roadmap. Fun!

Much like dropping pins on a Google Map, with Taggstar you can insert little stars into any image you wish. (See the small stars in the blue circles on the image above. This is just a sample image to show what the stars look like, they are not functional here. If you want to see a demo, click on the image and go to the Taggstar website)
When clicked, the stars lead visitors to any content you select -- another image, a video, a website, a document. This is a great way to make your images serve as portals to a world of information.
It's also a great alternative way to make a presentation...better than Prezi IMO.

I haven't tried this yet, but it looks pretty good and easy to use.

This site is one way to create an online reputation trail. I've been a member for about a month. I'm not yet sure I trust Trust Cloud to be around a year from now. However the basic concept is solid.
It's good to learn a bit more about how the scores are determined. (Note, Trustcloud doesn not currently connect with Google+ despite what it says in this article. )
