What I'm Using: The Noun Project for Mac
I am absolutely in love with the ways in which we now have a visual communication system as a way of communicating intent and ideas. Whether that is in our use of Emoji, Gifs, or the Noun Project. Easy access to these things will make us all better users and communicators.
Noun Project on your desktopSearch over 100,000 icons. The Mac App constantly updates, giving you fresh content every day.
What I'm Using: GitBook · Write & Publish Books
So, I’m pretty sure this is the nerdiest way to write a book. Still, though, I’m in.
A modern publishing toolchain. Simply taking you from ideas to finished, polished books.
What I'm Using: 5 sites for finding website backgrounds
Occasionally, I need to find a new set of backgrounds or textures for a new website or project I am working on, and I always have to Google the best way to do this. Well, this post is an effort to make that easier. These are the ones that I have found, but are there others that you like?
#C4C15: Once a Bobcat, Always a Bobcat: Everybody Has a Story
We can model our way to better schools:
Our empathy for one another is at the heart of what we can do together. We are limited by our own capacity to understand the person sitting across from us, and it shows in the classrooms and schools that do it best.
I really like how you are asking yourself and others to take a step back and try to learn more about the context for those you serve. However, I think the modeling going on in those moments might be even more important than the act itself. You are showing everyone what it is like to engage in the process of listening and empathizing. You are showing the value of not hiding our diverse backgrounds, but rather being able to talk about them and support from all sides.
While empathy is important to ensure your kids are safe and well cared for, it is also important for those who get those things from their home life. For those that already have meals at home and time with a parent to troubleshoot math problems, they need to see why and how empathy can change a school.

Alright, I have definitely been trying to figure this out for the last hour or so, and I would really like to move on to a different problem. Any help would be most appreciated.
I’m trying to create a function that I can run “on form submit” that will create a new google drive folder. I would like the folder id to be populated into a column within the spreadsheet so that I can then use Autocrat to create documents within the folder (also upon form submit). Ideally, this function would also check to see if the folder with that name already exists and would not create it but rather put the Folder ID of the already created folder within the cell so that someone who fills out the form for the first time gets a new folder, but someone who is filling the form out for the second or third time would still use the same folder (although, the error logic I am describing is not a requirement).
I found this code snippet (in the answer) that I was able to play around with here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16460425/make-folders-from-spreadsheet-data-in-google-drive
The only things that needed to be changed were moving from DocList to DriveApp and changing GetFolder to GetFoldersByName. If anyone has done anything like this or would like to take a stab, I would love it!
#C4C15: 1:25 iPad Classroom – A Creative Model | Dukelyer
Sometimes the right ratio of devices to kids is 1:25. And when done well, it can still be pretty transformational for the learning environment.
I really like the way in which you have framed the usage of a single device in the classroom. It isn’t about doing everything with it that you would do within a 1:1 environment, but rather it is about using it strategically and going further because of the constraint.
In particular, I LOVE the concept of Gorilla Blogging. The idea that students are capturing things from your classroom and sharing them to a single place. It reminds me of the “Scribe Posts” that a good number of math teachers were doing around 2006, but with a greater emphasis on students choosing what they want to write about. Just by giving a kid a device and telling them to capture their learning, you have empowered them to make something that wasn’t possible before. I would love to see blogs (or other types of social media) dedicated simply to students showing off the heavy thinking and great ideas from their own projects.
