Overview

Anchornote helps you plan your travel by ‘anchoring’ notes, photos, or voice-memos to places you intend to visit.  You can then view all those notes on a map.  And if you’d like to make sure you don’t forget about an awesome travel tip, Anchornote can automatically remind you about it when you approach/leave its vicinity.  Plus , the app allows you to import your Foursquare lists, and to keep all your notes safely synced with your Evernote account.

Client Question: I was told I can’t have my salaried employees punch a time clock, is that true?

Answer: Many people believe it is against the Fair Labor Standard Act regulations to have a salaried exempt employee punch a time clock. However that is not the case. According to a May 2004 letter written by Department of Labor Office of Enforcement FLSA Team, “The minimum FLSA recordkeeping requirements for such employees are found in regulations 29 CFR 516.3, These regulations do not limit an employer’s ability to track working time. Consequently, it is not a violation of the FLSA or its implementing regulations for your employer to track your working time, even if you are an exempt employee. See, e.g., Douglas v. Argo-Tech Corp., 113 F. 3d 67 (6th Cir.

  This YouTube channel is an example of how parents MUST sign off on genius project. The final video “go Pro hero” is the only “officially submiited” video for this student’s genius project.

Thanks to Brent Catlett, this afternoon I learned that you can now insert images into your Google Forms. Brent posted some screenshots of the process. After trying it out myself, I created a short video of the process. The video is embedded below.

Applications for Education
Inserting images into Google Forms could be a great way to create quizzes in which you ask students to identify people, places, and things.

This feature has not been rolled-out to all users, yet. If you’re a Google Apps for Education user who still has the old Google Forms layout you won’t see this option. 

Click here if you want to take the quiz that I made in the video.
