That said, I couldn't help but be intrigued by <a href="http://youtu.be/yRrdeFh5-io" target="_blank">this video</a> from Google about a teacher using Google Glass to take his students on a virtual field trip to CERN.

This Excellent URL Organizer Runs as a Chrome Browser Add-In

Contextinator lets you create projects, within which you can collect web URLs, tasks, people, and bookmarks. For example, I tried using Contextinator to work on the item that you're reading now. So, having installed the add-in, I clicked on its icon in the menu and created a new project. I then surfed to a couple of relevant web sites and added their tabs to the Tabs section of the project. Then I added a couple of tasks, too, such as checking out the previous add-ons I've written about. Tasks can contain URLs, so when you view a task it's easy to click on the link to which it refers. <br/><br/>Naturally, if you close your browser and then reopen it, all your project data is saved. So whether you're involved in a complex research project, or just considering ideas for the next family holiday, Contextinator is a brilliant way to keep your web-based research in some form of order - Robert Schifreen<br/><br/><br/><a href="http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/excellent-url-organizer-runs-browser-add.htm">http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/excellent-url-organizer-runs-browser-add.htm</a><div class="feedflare"><br/><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/gizmosbest?a=Q-txRnzPsSU:jx-9HaplMA4:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/gizmosbest?d=yIl2AUoC8zA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/gizmosbest?a=Q-txRnzPsSU:jx-9HaplMA4:qj6IDK7rITs"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/gizmosbest?d=qj6IDK7rITs"></img></a><br/></div><img height="1" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/gizmosbest/~4/Q-txRnzPsSU" width="1"/><br/><a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/gizmosbest/~3/Q-txRnzPsSU/excellent-url-organizer-runs-browser-add.htm" rel="nofollow">Gizmo's Freeware: Top selections</a>

Worried About Clicking On A Bit.Ly Link? Follow This Tip.

URLs are getting longer. Sometimes, the address of a web page can run to hundreds of characters, large chunks of which are meaningless strings of random numbers and letters. <br/><br/>Such URLs are impossible to type, when you're following a link in a printed document. And even if you're including them on a web page for someone to click on, their sheer length makes the page look messy. Which is why many web sites, including this one, have started using the services of URL-shortening sites such as Bitly.<br/><br/>But here's the problem. How do you know where the shortened link is going to take you, if you can only see the shortened version in your browser and not the full unexpurgated version? In the case of Bitly, specifically, the answer is simple.<br/><br/><br/>http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/worried-about-clicking-bitly-link-follow-tip.htm<div class="feedflare"><br/><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/gizmosbest?a=57T3McmwDR4:GVs4rwzm1ok:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/gizmosbest?d=yIl2AUoC8zA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/gizmosbest?a=57T3McmwDR4:GVs4rwzm1ok:qj6IDK7rITs"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/gizmosbest?d=qj6IDK7rITs"></img></a><br/></div><img height="1" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/gizmosbest/~4/57T3McmwDR4" width="1"/><br/><a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/gizmosbest/~3/57T3McmwDR4/worried-about-clicking-bitly-link-follow-tip.htm" rel="nofollow">Gizmo's Freeware: Top selections</a>

Put Photos And Music Together To Create An Online Slideshow Using This Free Web Service

Our Hot Finds Editor says: "In the past I've told you about some great free PC software that allows you to pull together some digital photos and a music track to create a video slideshow. But for a change, here's a brand new web-based system that can do the same thing, without the need to install any software on your computer. <br/><br/>One downside, though, is that you really need a Facebook or Twitter account to make use of the system. So if you don't have one, and don't want one, this isn't for you.

Store, Send and Convert Documents With This Great Free Service

CometDocs is a very neat web-based system that allows you to store document files online. You can then convert those files to different formats, or make them available to others for sharing. If you need a web-based document conversion utility (Word to PDF, say), then it's a handy system to use. And if you want to share a file with someone that's too large for your email account to accept, then you'll also find CometDocs indispensable.<br/><br/>To use the system, head to www.cometdocs.com. The home page implies that you can start uploading documents before you've created an account and logged in. This isn't quite true. You'll need to set up a free account, or log in with Facebook, first. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/store-send-and-convert-documents-great-service.htm">http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/store-send-and-convert-documents-great-service.htm</a><div class="feedflare"><br/><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/gizmosbest?a=7gZTiBtabLQ:1gnLsxX29ZI:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/gizmosbest?d=yIl2AUoC8zA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/gizmosbest?a=7gZTiBtabLQ:1gnLsxX29ZI:qj6IDK7rITs"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/gizmosbest?d=qj6IDK7rITs"></img></a><br/></div><img height="1" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/gizmosbest/~4/7gZTiBtabLQ" width="1"/><br/><a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/gizmosbest/~3/7gZTiBtabLQ/store-send-and-convert-documents-great-service.htm" rel="nofollow">Gizmo's Freeware: Top selections</a>
