Chalkup- A Wonderful Google Drive Tool for Teachers
February 6, 2015 I just learned through an email from Justin Chando about this interesting update to Chalkup. The folks in Chalkup have finally made the move to Google Drive and created a seamless integration of Chalkup with Google Drive. Chalkup is a great web tool that allows teachers to create classes and share different study materials on a message board that students can access in real-time. Chalkup lets you post discussion prompts, add comments to discussions, distribute announcements and assignments and view files. Some things that are unique to the Chalkup Google integration are: Grade and annotate files inline with drawing, highlighting, and area commentsUse a custom Rubric and attach it right to the gradeManages all Google Drive file permissions automatically View Google Drive files without needing to go to Drive, and Students save any type of document to their own DriveReal Discussions with nested comments.

Teacher Lesson Plans, Printables & Worksheets by Grade or Subject - TeacherVision.com Hälsoprojekt med IKT - biologi årkurs 7-9 - undervisningsstöd Att använda IKT (informations- och kommunikationsteknik) i undervisningen kan vara ett redskap för dig som lärare för att ge eleverna möjligheter till ett fördjupat lärande och reellt inflytande över undervisningen. Som alltid gäller det att utgå ifrån läroplanen och planera undervisningen noggrant. Det ger en bra utgångspunkt för att sedan använda IKT tillsammans med eleverna.

s kritik ger bättre molnavtal Du är här:Hem → Press → Nyheter → 2015 → Datainspektionens kritik ger bättre molnavtal 18 mars 2015 Datainspektionen har inga invändningar mot det avtal som Simrishamns kommun nu tecknat med sin molntjänstleverantör Google. Förra året riktade Datainspektionen kritik mot Simrishamns kommun för dess användning av Google Apps for Education i kommunens grund- och gymnasieskolor. Kommunen har sedan dess upprättat ett nytt avtal med Google, som Datainspektionen nu granskat. - Vi kan konstatera att de brister i avtalet som vi påpekat tidigare nu är åtgärdade. I den senaste granskningen av Simrishamns kommun har Datainspektionen enbart synpunkter på att kommunen tydligare måste informera användarna om vem som är personuppgiftsansvarig och att de vars personuppgifter som lagras i molntjänsten har rätt att få information om det, och att kunna rätta eventuell felaktig information.
