Getting work handed in the easy way.
Aug 18th
As I come to using Google apps more and more I find it very easy for my marking work flow. I set the task in Moodle.
So in this case it was a quick lesson on one of the types of modern slavery. They were given these sites as a reference:
Then had to make sure these things were in it as a minimum.
And finally they had to share the presentation with me which since we are all in google apps they just start typing my name and it is there for them to click on.
So the screenshot below shows the work arriving at the end of the day now all I need to do is look at it and I can give feedback and even edit it in place. The final step is for them to present this back to their classmates.
Oh and I guess I should mention that the top message is from my History class with someone handing in their work late after school has finished for the day.
Katikati Goes Google School
Oct 30th
As you can see from the Image below we have begun our transition to Google School. Our initial reason was we see no point in going to ms exchange and find squirrel mail inadequate so why not try google. But then of course this gives us the benefits of having each student seeing a unified homepage (Google can lock down the gadgets kids can add to an EDU set) and every student has their mail,documents and website at their fingertips.
Customising it has been easy as uploading a couple of images and now it’s just the process of pointing our Domain at the right place and we go live. I will blog the results of the full student and staff transition in the next few weeks.
