Save Time Grading with Doctopus & Goobric (Overview of These Two Tools) I’m always on the look out to spend LESS time grading or, at the very least, to feel like the time I do spend grading is productive and efficient. Several months ago I wrote a blog titled “Google Docs: Grading Tips & Tricks” in which I shared some simple strategies for grading more quickly when working with Google documents. In addition to those tips, I recently wrote a blog about the new editing feature in Google Documents, which is making it easier to provide formative feedback. During a training last week, I was surprised that several teachers using Google Apps with students had not experimented with Doctopus, a Google Spreadsheet script developed by Andrew Stillman, and Goobric, a Chrome extension that adds rubric functionality to any document shared using Doctopus.
Maptoolkit The MTK framework is based on a thoroughly documented and well tested Javascript API that is based on the open source project Leaflet JS. It can optionally refer to the Google Maps API as well when Google features are needed. The API is hosted and continously developed by Toursprung. The API currently stands at version 8.5. It contains the full feature set of Leaflet (see here) and additional functionality such as the visual route editor that is used on route portals such as Bikemap, Sentres, Tourwerk and many more, various infowindow templates and other interface improvements, and full integration with MTK Geo-Data Hosting and the MTK Geocoding API. The Maps API is fully internationalized (see showcases in two dozen languages) and works well in touch environment such as iPad, iPhone or Android (show mobile demo).

It's intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.
