It's very cool to sync your college address book to Mac address book. I just have college stuff in that address book (in Entourage) and personal stuff in Gmail (and some stuff in Thunderbird). I find that all of the Learning Management Systems are too big. Using a blog (or Basecamp) seems to be a bit easier (and more flexible). I love giving people options such as following updates via RSS, which just about everything from a blog to Basecamp to Flickr can do. I haven't really used Twitter for any class-related stuff yet though. @Waye: I have to admit that you got me thinking a bit more about what I was using after you tweeted about Learning Management Systems.

My setup is not as extensive... google calendar, wordpress for the students, lesson plan template in Word. My college address book syncs to mac address which I have sync to Google LDAP, and my iCal syncs to Google Calender. I am playing with Moodle as per your suggestions, a bit more than I need right now. Music Nova Scotia uses Basecamp and never thought about using it for school! ;) Thanks for this.
