Gopher for Groups

Google Groups are a very powerful permissions, communications, and collaboration tool in G Suite for EDU districts, but auditing and managing their access settings can be a challenge at scale. Gopher for Groups lets you gain visibility and control of critical Google Groups access and permissions settings that impact the security of domain resources and communications. Group owners sometimes make risky edits to critical settings like “Who can join” or “Who can post” in ways admins can’t easily discover. Default settings for new groups are likely too permissive for a typical school environment. Group settings are overwhelmingly many, and are extremely time-consuming to update at scale via Google’s user interface. How Gopher for Groups boosts your administrative game: - Quickly import all Google Groups settings available via Google’s APIs. - Filter for key privacy or online safety risks, such as permissive join or posting settings. - Perform advanced group membership analysis to account for all owners and managers, identify nested groups, and look for groups with membership set to “all in domain.” - Make all your group settings right in the sheet. Use the power of Sheets filters to limit which groups you want to update. - Preview all changes before bulk-committing them to Google’s APIs

Popsicle Sticks Form

Instead of having students raise their hand, giving the impression of wanting a fast response rather than a thoughtful response, allow ALL students to thoughfully participate. Use the same Google Form™ repeatedly to have students share their thoughts about the question posed. Use the Puzzle Piece Add-on menu to select "Popscicle Sticks Form by AliceKeeler" to randomly choose one of the submitted responses. This has the same effect of randomly calling on students to share their answer. However, randomly calling on students is anxiety producing and can cause fight or flight panic for some students. Thus, publicly not able to provide their most thoughtful response. First, give all students time to think and respond to the question. Then use the Add-on to randomly call on a student to expand on their thoughtful response. This also allows ALL students to participate rather than the one or two who raised their hand. After randomly selecting a student response from the responses, use the Add-on menu to remove the responses from the Form™. This allows you to reuse the same Form over and over as a method for having students participate when a question is asked in class. Suggestion to connect a Google Sheets™ spreadsheet on the responses tab to capture the student participation. This preserves everyones participation. This Add-on was created by Alice Keeler. Teacher, Google Certified Innovator, Google Developer Expert, Mom of 5, and EdTech blogger at alicekeeler.com. This Add-on collects NO user data. NO PII. Is FERPA and COPPA compliant.
