Hi
I heard an ad on the radio about oxfam ireland selling refurbished
computers - laptops not sure what they are taking in it might be worth
checking out the website and contacting them.

Gdrive and gmail now combined: All the more reason to backup your gmail eg
set up a POP account through your computer's mail programme and purely use
it to archive the stuff somewhere out of the cloud...? Lots of people don't
know gmail provides POP access too... what would happen to all that
important "stuff" if Gmail borked, or your user account was lost in some

Ruckus are great - but a serious investment.

Sorry a bit late coming to this conversation - some great tips being shared
here. I've had my MBA for about a year now and haven't looked back. There's
rarely ever a time I need a Windows PC. Some things I liked that haven't
already been mentioned are:

ResizeIt - image resizer
Stencyl - Scratch-like programming language

You can use QuickTime to record the screen (great for tutorials) free
Use Reflector(about 8€) to mirror ios devices to the mac screen, use QuickTime then as above, or for presenting in class.
BetterSnap Tool for Win 7 type 1/2 and 1/2 screen etc with 2 windows

Discounted mac sofware on software4students.ie with teacher discount

Good rule-of-thumb is to take the number of people in the building and
multiply by 3. That is how many devices your wireless network needs to
support.

Thanks everyone! A fine starter list for me to explore. Absolutely loving my MacBook - cant see why I delayed the switch for so long.

Then there's Keynote for presentations (far nicer to work with than powerpoint)
I use Garageband & iMovie (sound & film editing)
and of ours the biggie - when I open the mac … it works - I don't have to wait a half hour for it to warm/load up :)

Re: [CESI List] Google sites training

Hi Mark can't help directly but my experience of helping adult learners who
wanted to do simple websites has been that they found Google Sites
unintuitive but Weebly fine... that's about a year ago, upgrades to both
products may have changed the lie of the land.

Google's developer conference, Google IO is currently taking place in the
US. Lots of announcements today that I haven't had time to go through

Hi Mark

I am no expert with Google sites but I did use it to develop a website for
my local GAA club. The GAA signed up to use Google sites for all GAA clubs
and provided a template. I used it and found it very straight forward to
use. They did provide some help using some support sites. My local parish

Depending on the Android hardware, you can possibly self-install Flash (via
an .apk file) on the Android from the Archived Flash Player Versions page on
