VNC as media projector
Sometimes it is hard to get an available media projector. I've find a solution to overcome the lack of media projectors.
I've installed a VNC server on my laptop, only with view permission for remote users. In the computers of the room I've installed a simple vnc viewer.
The students just have to run the client to connect to my laptop. Then I just teach was usual, without pointing to the board ...
Students said that this method is better, since they view better on their screen, than on the projection board.

Using Google Docs in teaching activities
I'm teaching a course in System and Services Administration.
The students should document all the installation, configuration and maintenance procedures. Therefor, a solution for easy creation of documents with sharing features was needed.
Google docs appear as The Solution, where they create the documents and share them with me. So I'm able to give feed back to the students in a easily way, writing and correcting in the same document. Without the need of any extra application or a solution for syncing the changes.
Work with me and my students, maybe it could work for you.

Linux has simple and powerful solutions. Backup is not an exception.
This solutions uses small applications that come in the default installation of almost distros.
It is based in the use of rsync, hard links, using ln and cp -al, it also uses the cron for making automated backups.
This is a power solution for creating Automated Snapshot-Style Backups.
