Learning is Change

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!

I know our question topic is a really hard one right now. And I made a video to frame it a bit more (and provide my sort-of answer). I think it is really difficult to determine what students need to be able to know and do, because it is hard to teach someone “how to learn”, and that is what I think we are all trying to do. Anyway, here it is:

Any thoughts about Taking Chromebooks home?

Anyone have experience with students taking Chromebooks home or having MS or HS students carrying them around all day? Some great experiences shared to answer Ben Wilkoff’s question but I’m wondering if people have considered home-school initiatives with Chromebooks’ current durability.

I am kind of in love with this solution for charging chromebooks (or really any devices).
