Google Sheets: Create a Map Today I needed a map of the countries that participate in the TIMSS study. The website provided a list of the countries, I just needed to map them. From Google Drive ( create a new Google spreadsheet. Highlight the data on the website. Use Control C to copy the data. Selecting cell A1 I paste the data from the website using Control V. When copying and pasting data there is a potential for the rows and columns to not paste perfectly. In my example only column 1 contains the names of the countries I want to chart. Click on the chart wizard icon in the toolbar or use the Insert menu to choose “Chart.” Google Sheets looks at your data and gives you some suggestions for the charts it thinks you might want to use. After choosing the blue “Insert” button the chart will be floating on the tab with the data. Like this: Like Loading...

Google Apps v Office 365 – For schools | The Staffroom The expectation by teachers and students of ‘anytime, anywhere, any device’ access to online services has resulted in a rethink of software and file-server provisioning in schools. Many schools are now enabling student and teacher access to collaborative cloud apps and file storage services, which are accessible from school and home, on shared school computers and personal laptops and tablet devices. Which cloud service is best for your school? While there are a number of online apps and file storage services available, the two options that appear to be battling it out for education market share are Microsoft’s Office 365 (O365) and Google Apps for Education (GAFE). Both services offer the usual ‘office’ apps (word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, email, calendars, etc) along with huge amounts of file storage space. (Google now offers ‘unlimited’ file storage for GAFE). Both services provide apps for mobile devices, and both offer options for accessing files when offline. See also
Arbejder du med synlig læring? Brug Google Formular!! Forlaget Dafolo havde en konkurrence kørende omhandlende synlig læring i praksis. Jeg vandt konkurrencen ved at vise, hvordan jeg på en praktisk og simpel måde arbejder med synlig læring i min undervisning - og det fif, vil jeg nu videregive til dig ;) Mine elever har en google konto, og det åbner op for en lang række gratis værktøjer i undervisningen bl.a. Google formular. Når vi starter et forløb og en tydelig målsætning er blevet præsenteret, beder jeg mine elever om at udfylde en før-evaluering af forløbet. Før-Evalueringen ser således ud: Og giver dig automatisk følgende statistik over klassen: Hvad er dette forløbs mål: at finde 5 novum og at finde ud af hvad dystopi eller utopi betyder At vi skal have et godt kendskab til Science Fiction. Hvor meget ved jeg i forvejen om forløbets mål? Hvor nemt eller hvor svært tror jeg, det bliver at lære forløbets mål? Hvor meget energi vil jeg lægge i dagens mål? På samme måde laves en efterevaluering. Her er et eksempel med en efter-evaluering:
Google for Education: Google Classroom: Basics Students have an entirely different view of Classroom than teachers. But it is equally as easy to use. Students can join classes, communicate with their teachers, turn in assignments, and even revise work that has already been turned in. Add a class A teacher can directly add a student to a class, or give them the class code to join themselves. The following instructions are from the point of view of a student in Classroom. To add yourself to a class with a course code: Sign in to Classroom at classroom.google.com. The class stream will open. Note: At this time, only the teacher of a class can change the image in the class stream. View assignments You can view assignments in the class stream and on the Assignments page. To view assignments on a specific class page: Sign in to Classroom at classroom.google.com. You can also view assignments on the Assignments page: Sign in to Classroom at classroom.google.com. Click an assignment to access it. Post to the class stream Send an email

Egenvurdering med googleforms – Glimt fra et flerspråklig klasserom I klasserommet vårt gjør vi mye spennende. Men hvordan kan jeg som lærer vite at målene vi setter oss faktisk nås? Den siste tiden har vi jobbet mye med et spennende prosjekt sammen med Brumunddal ungdomsskole. og i dette innlegget vil jeg prøve å si litt om mål og vurdering underveis. Vi brukt ulike former for vurdering. Vurdering for læring Jeg er opptatt av tilpasset opplæring og elevenes læring står i fokus. Det er særlig fire prinsipper som er sentrale i vurderingsarbeid som har til formål å fremme læring. Vi har brukt ulike former for vurdering. Etter den første dagen med fortellerverkstedet, fikk alle elevene gi muntlige tilbakemeldinger på opplegget. Fortellerdelen av prosjektet er nå avsluttet og elevene har fått gi skriftlige tilbakemeldinger på opplegget så langt, samtidig som de har vurdert sin egen språklige kompetanse med utgangspunkt i kartleggingsmateriellet: Språkkompetanse i grunnleggende norsk. Googleforms – nyttig verktøy Overordna mål Kompetansemål og læringsmål
Google Assistant er nesten skremmende smart Vi har hatt Apples assistent Siri i noen år nå. Det er ikke mer enn et år siden mange her i Norge lot seg imponere over at hun kan sjekke kalenderen, lage avtaler for deg og sende tekstmeldinger på vegne av deg – bare ved at du prater til henne. Sist uke sa jeg for første gang «Hei Siri, skru på lysene!», og lysene rundt om i stua tente i vintermørket – uten at jeg en gang hadde løftet mobilen. Men en samtale der «dere» snakker sammen på en måte som gjør at du kan oppnå noe annet enn å få utført klart definerte kommandoer har stort sett vært umulig. Se hva som skjer Så hvorfor satser likevel samtlige teknogiganter, inkludert Microsoft, Amazon, Samsung og Facebook nå for fullt på digitale assistenter som Siri? Ta dette eksempelet: Jeg: Hvem er president i USA? Google: Barack Obama Jeg: Hvor bor han? Google: Det hvite hus i Washington DC Jeg: Hvor ble han født? Google: 4. august 1961 på Kapiolani Medical Center. Jeg: Når er presidentperioden hans over? Google: La meg tenke ...
