Dragging a file to Gmail

Drag the file that you want to attach to your open email.  As soon as the file touches the open email, you will notice that a message appears indicating where the file should be dropped.

Simple?  Yes, but it only works if you are using Google Chrome or Firefox as a browser. Read the handout.

Good afternoon Weathersfield teachers

By the time that we meet this afternoon in the computer lab, Larry will have given all of you gmail (wsesu.net) addresses. I will have handouts for you.  (For future reference, here's a link to the handouts.)  We will spend some time going over some of the key concerns with gmail and Google apps.  One of the items that we will talk about is using a Google Doc Form as an assessment tool.  If you have a chance and would like to take a sample assessment click on this link.

Printing from an iPhone or iPad

You will need to install two files; Breezy (a free app) to your Apple mobile device(s) and the Breezy Connector to the computer connected to the printer that you want to use. Download the directions.

How do you export Smart Response data detailing individual student answers?

Having worked on this issue for some time with no success, I did the adult thing and asked for help. In less than a minute at Vita-Learn's Vermont Fest, one of the Smartboard presenters showed me the way...he also admitted that Smart's printed directions may have been a little confusing. Download the file.

Edit movies and then place them onto your web site

Yes, you can do this!  You can take movies with a smartphone and email them to your computer.  If you have access to a flip camera or a video camera, you can connect the camera to your computer directly or copy the video files from the camera's memory card.  You can even edit your movies; using iMovie on a Mac or Windows Live Movie Maker on a PC.

All of the Smart files are numbered.  For those files that look good, simply place the Smart item # next to the appropriate Math Connects chapter.
