Web with applications for Chromebooks

Posted on by Jaume Feliu
Imatge de Pierre Lecourt

I’ve been working with Chromebooks with the students for almost two years. The truth is that I am very happy and understand perfectly well that more and more schools are showing interest and choosing it as a computer for the students.

Many people ask me about my experience. Of all the questions, the most common is about the applications we use. There is always doubt if you miss some applications.

The truth is that I usually use a Chromebook as a working tool. At home I have a Windows computer, but I prefer to work with Chromebook. Signal I don’t miss anything. But adaptation may not be easy.

Why don’t I use Google Drive Team Drives for the moment?

Posted on by Jaume Feliu

A few weeks ago, Google added the Team Units to the Drive. The truth is that they looked very good and I immediately tried them. After all this testing time, I have decided not to use them in the centre. In this article I explain the reasons.

Project work vs. memory?

Posted on by Jaume Feliu

Today I’m changing and I’m putting aside technology. Those of you who follow this blog will already know that I find the technology useful if it helps us to improve methodologies in the classroom and organization of center. And today I will speak about methodology in the classroom.

It’s pre-registration time and, as a father, I’ve gone to different open doors of different institutes. Project work seems to be in vogue and practically all the centres I have visited were flagged in one way or another. I already find it positive, although I find it somewhat surprising how easy it is to sell. I’ve been working on projects for years and I find it difficult to make good projects. But that is not the point I want to make.

Google+ Community of CoRubrics

Posted on by Jaume Feliu
If you use any of the CoRubrics Add-ons I encourage you to sign up for the Google+ community I’ve created.
In this way, you will be able to be connected with other teachers who also use them and we will be able to share doubts, experiences, improvements…
The community is trilingual, in Catalan, Spanish and English, as CoRubrics is in these three languages. It is also in Basque but I don’t speak it: – (I want everyone to use the language they know or prefer. I will always reply in the language in which the questions are raised.
And if someone doesn’t understand any of the subjects I won’t have any problem in interpreting.

G Suite Administration Console (2): Audits

Posted on by Jaume Feliu

Continuing with the series of articles on the Google apps for education admin console, today I review a very useful option that, because of the questions I receive, is not very well known. It’s about audits. The console lets you know what’s going on in many ways, always keeping your data private. Where’s a drive file? How many users have opened it? Who deleted an event from the shared calendar? And a lot of other things.
