Семинар о применении сервисов Google В пятницу, 7 декабря проходил городской семинар учителей информатики, на котором мне предложили рассказать о Академии преподавателей Google, сервисах Google и их применении в образовании. Презентация и примерный текст ниже. За основу была взята идея и презентация Бекки Эванс "40 способов применения Google Apps в школе": В начале ноября этого года Москве прошла первая в России Академия преподавателей Google Она состоялась при участии менеджеров образовательных проектов Google в Америке, Европе и России и преподавателей и учителей России и стран СНГ. Академия Google собрала 50 участников, прошедших конкурсный отбор. Тренинги, мастер-классы и презентации проводили в том числе преподаватели, имеющие большой опыт применения сервисов Googlе в образовании, обучающие других учителей, а также сотрудники компании Google, занимающиеся поддержкой продуктов в России. Итак, почему Google? Рассмотрим подробнее некоторые из перечисленных сервисов. Еще одна служба- календарь Google.
Google's Apps for Education and the New Privacy Policy Privacy | Features Google's Apps for Education and the New Privacy Policy By Dian Schaffhauser02/15/12 In late January when Google announced that it was replacing 60 different privacy policies across its multiple sites and services with a single one, you might have thought Congress had taken up SOPA and PIPA again. That's how loud the outrage was from much of the social galaxy, as reflected in this Gizmodo headline: "Google's Broken Promise: The End of 'Don't Be Evil.'" But what has been ignored in these discussions is the impact that could be felt by schools that have signed up for Google Apps for Education. The Basics of the Privacy PolicyIf you haven't bothered to read through the new privacy policy, which takes effect on March 1, 2012, here are the basics. Google said that the goal of a single privacy policy is to make it "simpler and more readable." Note, however, that the privacy policy doesn't affect anonymous public users.
Adding a Favicon for your Google Site I had previously made a post on how to add a Favicon to your website. In that post I linked back to a website that had directions for creating a favicon in a Google Site. Apparently that post no longer exists so I thought I would make the directions myself. A favicon is the icon you see in the tab of your web browser. You can see in the below screenshot that I have 3 tabs open. The gmail logo is visible in the first tab, that icon is a favicon. The reason to change the favicon on your Google Site is it makes it easier for you and students to navigate multiple tabs. Step 1: Create an image You can use any editor you want. Step 2: Go to You will want to upload your image to a favicon creator. No need to register or login. Click on “Choose File” and upload your image file. Once you’ve uploaded the file scroll down a little to the preview box. Step 3: Click on the blue share button on your Google Site Step 4: Click on “Attachments” on the left hand side That is it!
An iPad Workflow for the Classroom Using Google Drive & Pages, Keynote or Numbers The Google Drive iPad app is not yet all that we might want it to be, but it is definitely moving in the right direction. A recent update included the ability to create and edit spreadsheets, but it also added something equally useful – the ability to upload files from other apps to Google Drive via the “Open in” function. This creates some useful workflow options for teachers who want to assign, receive and grade student work on the iPad. Here’s how it could work. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Easy, right? How could teacher quickly collect all the Google accounts of the students in their class?
