Google Apps Best Practices

Experience is a great teacher, especially if others had to do all the learning; so here we go.

• Multilingual sites:
  ...Put the content of every language in a different subdirectory. This is easier to handle when updating and maintaining your site. For our example, you would have example.com/en/, example.com/de/, and example.com/es/...
  How to start a multilingual site
  ...Avoid mixing languages on each page, as this may confuse Googlebot as well as your users. Keep navigation and content in the same language on each page....
• Domain names, user names, are permanent in Google Apps.

Movies - Before Tomorrow

A beautiful walk with the Inuit in the 1800s. Quiet, insightful and unexpected. I felt the novelty of first contact tales being retold in the community. Tales of knives made of something that is not stone, needles of the same. Touching to the end, I felt right there.

Google Sites Backup

Backup your date. Of course I trust Google, but I still sleep better when I have a copy of my data. Months even years of work; you don't mess with that.

1. My first choice : Run now Use the IMPORT button. It works! But unicode characters are ugly. The restore would be bad
   Info: google-sites-liberation - Project Hosting on Google Code
2. A good second choice: Google Sites - Copy Site - Import Personal Site to Google Apps (steegle.com)

Stained Glass - Vitrails by Catherine

Things I have learned about Google Docs and DropBox

Ok, I think this is the cat's meow. But I'm running into trouble with a few Gotcha's while building a "cloud based" course management system.

1. Hyperlinks in Spreadsheets. Outlines could be in Google Spreadsheets but links must occupy an entire cell and so it's not as pretty as in Google Doc.
2. Inserting a Spreadsheet in a Site. Requires a set minimum length example 600 pixels. It seems to adjust anyway, regardless of the size of the spreadsheet.
3. Tables in Docs. Column size is controlled in HTML only. So get it right before you paste.
   Can I adjust the size of individual columns and not the entire table?
   ... an article on how to insert a table into a Google Site and then remove the borders. This will require you to edit the HTML so if you don't feel you want to do that you will still have the borders. Source Google Sites - Advanced Tables (steegle.com)
4. Attachments to Site. You can attach just about anything, but if you value your time and sanity, group your documents in compressed folders and upload them.
5. Drop Box.
   Files and zip folders can have a public link, but not folders. Example:
   http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2245004/460-056__Fichiers%20de%20travail%20-%207811.zip
   Network drives cannot be used by dropbox directly.
   
6. Drop Box. When working online 200KB ZIP folder takes about 30 seconds to download. Any given course can reach 5 to 10 MB. Then a quick unzip, then open in folder and copy to USB. Way too many steps unless you have no choice. Perhaps a local link and a web link would be more useful.

Designing multi-level lesson plans for individualized instruction

Use a spreadsheet with a Level field (Beginner Average Advanced or 1, 2, 3) and set up an autofilter for students. This will display / hide information as the student progresses.

• sample
  cdc (choose list view to filter)
  cdc LIST VIEW (filter is on)
  Web Page View (does not filter)
• Note: the default level is 2, use level 1 if the student is falling behind.
• Level 1 should list required pages.
• Level 2 should list pages and exercises to be skipped.
• Level 3 is the whole manual but contains notes pertaining to pages skipped in level 2.

The Subtotal/grouping function in excel would reveal required levels

Creating a Pivot table might group the information in an interesting way.

Alternatively use a tree structure to show/hide 3 versions of the outline (sounds like more work for the teacher). (I don't know know to do it)

The key is organizing the outline/lesson plan so one cell contains the activities for one block of 3 hours at one level. Level 2 and 3 material should appear in a second row (ewe...).

Help! I'm loosing my structure.
