Apps scripts in Google

Apps scripts is a phrase that would probably scare the average teacher, however using these does not require any script writing knowledge. Most of the scripts that could be useful to a teacher are already available and come with full instructions to make them less frightening. A good example is an extension called Flubaroo which is added to sheets and forms. It allows the teacher to garde online assignments automatically and even email the students to let them know how well they have done- instant feedback. I have used this for subject pre- and post- tests with very little effort required; especially with no need to mark the tests personally.

Team Rutherford Idea from Rebecca Clark

So Much Data, So Little Time

Twice a year, Reading and Language Arts teachers run MAP testing at Singapore American School and receive oodles of data on students' skills around reading and writing. The math teachers also run an assessment, so this idea should catch on quickly with them because it involves utter geekiness around scripting.

Thanks to Jay Atwood's presentation, I'm thinking about how we can make the data flow in a new way.

The Now: Individual RIT scores, some grouping based on level, up to the teacher to sort and manage

The Future: Individual RIT scores, coding to make purposeful groupings for learning, coding to distribute actual activities to boost learning

We won't see data, we'll see:

• kids with similar levels able to feel comfortable that there are others who struggle with the same challenges
• time focused on learning rather than figuring out who's in which group

Now, all I need to do is get Jay the Coder Atwood to run this by the Office of Learning.

And I'm pretty proud of myself for throwing this out there without much editing and will launch early and iterate (Google Principle # . Thanks, Rebekah Madrid for posting this photo on Twitter.

Team Rutherford Hearing Impaired Solution

Hearing Impaired Solution for Hearing Impaired using Google Hangouts

This way they can lipread their peers. Position in the class is not important, All communications can be heard by the hearing impaired individuals. I tried it out and it works. I used iPads, phones, microphones to do it. The current method is using an FM system which only amplifies sound between teacher and student and peer communication is only available by the teacher 'retweeting' the peers
