Google Apps is Spreading

May 6th, 2011 · Comments Off

I am one of the admins for the domain on Google Apps in my district. It’s fun to be on the high end of the scale of computing in the district instead of someone downtown. After my brother and I gave a training at the district technology conference many people have contacted me about getting their accounts set up.

In fact, one of the alternative high schools got every teacher set up and is giving a training on how to use it today. Good stuff.

However, the hard part is that as an administrator, I have to be in charge of cleaning things up. The past week or so, I’ve been going through our entire user list trying to organize from one giant 3000+ person list to break down users into the schools they’re at with the plan of deleting all student accounts and starting fresh.

It’s a mess, but we’re getting there.

Some Sort of Revival?

January 19th, 2011 · Comments Off

We’ve begun to do training with John Kuglin to implement technology into pedagogy… perhaps since I no longer use this blog for student use I will revive it for that particular adventure.

I’m paying for the site anyway!

This is how we ROLE

May 21st, 2010 · Comments Off

A role model is someone you look up to. Think about someone you consider a role model. What qualities do they have? Why do you admire them? Explain your reasons for who you consider to be a role model and what they have done to deserve your admiration.

What would you change?

DogBlog QOTD

Mr. Moomey has asked me to ask scholars to suggest a school rule that should be changed. Think of one rule that you would like to have changed. Write a letter convincing me (and Mr. Moomey) that this rule should be changed. Be sure to support your opinion with convincing reasons and evidence.
