Applications for Education These updates won't drastically change the way that you and your students use the Google Drive mobile apps, they simply make it easier to know when files are shared.
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.

A Convenient New Way to See Who Has Access to Your Google Drive Folders Creating shared Google Drive folders provides teachers and students with a great way to contribute to a pool of B-roll media, to share study guides, or to collaborate on research projects. Keeping track of who has access to those folders can be a bit cumbersome. That will soon change as Google announced yesterday that a new view of shared Google Drive folders is coming soon. Over the next couple of weeks you will notice a new "people icon" to Google Drive folders. You will now be able to hover your cursor over the "people icon" to see a list of people who have access to your folders. Applications for Education The best way to have students avoid accidentally using copyrighted images or videos in their own projects is to use media that they've created themselves.

Three Google Drive Features That Impress New Users I'm currently working with a school that is making the transition to Google Apps (click here for information on bringing me to your school). Last week we started to explore the many features of Google Drive. Within the group there were many first-time users of Google Drive. Like other groups they were amazed by some of the features of Google Drive that don't immediately jump out at you. Here are three Google Drive features that impress first-time users. 1. Any file that you have stored in your Google Drive can be shared with others. 2. 3. If you are a big fan of using folders to organize your materials, you might want to make folders within folders. Topics like this one and many more will be covered during this summer's Practical Ed Tech Chromebook Camp.

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.
