Så spelar du in SVT Play och annan webb-tv till hårddisken Fråga: Jag skulle vilja ha tips om program, även om de kostar pengar, som kan spela in program från SVT Play. Ibland ligger program bara kvar en vecka eller så och jag skulle gärna vilja behålla program en längre tid på min hårddisk så att jag kan spara och se om dem flera gånger. Alke Svar: Det finns en hel del licensbetalare som har samma problem som du. Missa inte: Plejmo Beta - Lovande ny tjänst för streaming av film Det går att spela in tv-program som visas i olika Playtjänster. Namnet till trots finns ingen koppling till webbplatsen med nästan samma namn. Tar du risken startar du först programmet (i OS X måste du först lägga in en uppdatering manuellt, instruktioner finns på nedladdningssidan). Detta är att betrakta som privatkopiering, som innebär att du har rätt att spara ner material för eget bruk. MacWorlds expert Robert Ilijason svarar, med hjälp av våra fantastiska forummedlemmar, på vanliga och kluriga frågor.

30 Google Drive Tips You Can't Afford to Miss Click To View Slideshow» Google's online office suite and storage service has come a long way, becoming the tool of choice for many. Here's a list of tips and tricks to squeeze the best out of Drive. Raise your hand if you remember Writely. A four-person company called Upstartle launched the online-only word processor in August 2005, taking advantage of a then-new browser technology called AJAX. At the time, a product like Writely was unique (the software didn't come on a CD), but still considered a gamble. Fast forward eight years. It's a full suite of tools that now takes on Microsoft's far more mature Office; in fact, Google Drive's very presence in the market arguable drove Microsoft to create its own Office Online versions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint to work with its OneDrive storage/sync service. But after almost a decade, Google Drive has come a long way in its own maturity.

Fokus på undervisning Jag ställde en tid sedan några frågor till mina elever om vad som kännetecknar en lärare vars elever lär sig mycket. Såklart finns det saker som jag måste bli bättre på, men glädjande nog anser 95% av eleverna att jag kommer väl förberedd till lektionerna. Med det menas till exempel att: Lektionen har ett bestämt syfteAktiviteterna under lektionen svarar upp mot syftetDet råder balans mellan olika aktiviteter (läsa, skriva, tänka, lyssna, tala)Det finns stöd i undervisningen så att alla har möjlighet att lyckasAktiviteterna genomförs enskilt, parvis och i helklassLektionen avslutas med att synliggöra lektionens syfte För att komma väl förberedd har jag gjort vissa val. För att få loss så mycket förberedelsetid har jag gjort tre strategiska val och försöker idag införliva tre delar i undervisningen som tidigare tog mycket planeringstid i anspråk: läsa elevtexter, ge eleverna respons och publicera elevarbeten. Svenska lärare har i internationellt jämförelse rätt i att tiden är knapp.

rosterSync - Admin Edition - New Visions CloudLab The manual enrollment of students in Google Classroom can be an adoption barrier, which rosterSync alleviates.Frequent roster-changes occur particularly in higher needs schools, which means that an easy roster sync process is critical to boosting technology adoption. Best if adopted and set up PRIOR to the start of the school year or semester. This avoids a scenario where teachers have already set up Google Classroom on their own, and then receive a bunch of redundant courses from rosterSync.Teachers can "Accept" or "Decline" course invitations from Classroom courses created with rosterSync, and students do not see the courses until they are "Accepted" by the teacher.It's probably wise to message to teachers that they are at liberty to make adjustments to their own rosters once they are provisioned, and to train them to do so, so they feel empowered to avoid IT bottlenecks and fix SIS errors on their own!

Did you know that you can also include your Google Drive documents as part of your hangout video, and edit them right there in the hangout? There are a few ways to open a hangout; here I’ll do so from Gmail: Click image to enlarge The first time, you may be asked for authorisation to use the camera and microphone. The icons down the left are applications you can use from within the hangout. The webcam display is now down below, and you can recover it when you want to by clicking on it: From here you can add Drive documents to the hangout. If you’re chatting to someone who has edit priveleges for the document you’re viewing, you can both work on the content in real time, right there in the hangout. This is a great too, for collaboration. in a future post I’ll look at some other techniques you can use when, instead, you want to make a presentation over a hangout.

Digital Differentiation with Google Classroom Save Pinterest How to Differentiate Assignments in Google Classroom I am often asked about differentiation strategies that will work in the Google Classroom application. (UPDATED January 24, 2017!) NEW Feature! Yay!
