Learning is Change

Using Google Glass and Hangouts for Learning English (in Vietnam)

This looks really interesting. I love the idea of being “live” with an in-person experience. 

Topica: Vietnamese education startup uses Google Glass to teach English

As this video shows, Google Glass is being used to allow a teacher that sits at home to coach students that go to a local coffee shop in Hanoi, Vietnam.

I would love to see who has expertise for using Online Portfolios with students and teachers in order to support more self-reflection and less “digitial scrapbooking”.

Do you all have an ETA for FormMule as an docs Add-On in New Sheets?

Do you all have an ETA for FormMule as an docs Add-On in New Sheets? It is fine if you don’t, but I have a specific use that I am looking for a large scale rollout, so I wanted to check to see if I should copy over the script or wait for the add-on. I hope that makes sense.
