Learning is Change

It isn’t looking like I’m going to be able to make it in to the session today. Next week is looking good for me, though. Let me know if there is anything I can do from afar, though.

I’m planning on using this community throughout the year to help share resources. Here is one that I found this morning that I found extremely interesting. 

It is a Principal’s guide to blended learning. I think that the perspective described here is one that isn’t being considered a lot and for those principals looking at Blended Learning, I think it could be valuable.

Pretty much the only time I have been excited about public service broadcasting.

So, I think I have a unique need that many other folks could use, but I wanted to ask here.

I would love to be able to use a script similar to DocAppender to set multiple documents to be Appended to based upon a drop down set in each form submission.

The use case: If I wanted to do running records for for a whole bunch of different schools, but I wanted to append those notes to different notes files in different folders, could I set the document I want to append by choosing the school name from the drop down?

Andrew Stillman Any thoughts on this? Can I just extend DocAppender or would we need to do some additional development?

Here is a list of pretty amazing Scripts that allow you to do things from organize Google Drive to create autograding quizzes: http://blog.synergyse.com/2013/07/synergyse-top-10-google-apps-scripts-for-education.html

So, I’m thinking about the unconference day, and I’m wondering if we (the cohort) are responsible for planning/choosing topics. If so, I wonder if we might want to start brainstorming some ideas and throw together a form to think about what expertise is in the room and what needs for learning we may have (and matching the two, hopefully). What do you all think? 

(And if someone from the GTA planning folks can give some guidance, I think that would be good too.)

I cannot believe our incredible luck to have Andrew Stillman, the creator of Doctopus, Autocrat, gClassFolders, FormMule and much of YouPD, in our cohort. 

Just, Wow!
