NEW! Google Cast for Education - Share student's screens with the class

What is Google Cast for Education?

Google Cast for Education is a free Chrome app that allows students and teachers to share their screens wirelessly from anywhere in the classroom. Cast for Education carries video and audio across complex school networks, has built-in controls for teachers, and works seamlessly with Google Classroom.

The Cast for Education app runs on the teacher’s computer that’s connected to the classroom projector, and it does not require new hardware. Teachers receive casts through the Cast for Education app, and students share their screens using the upcoming version of the Cast feature in Chrome.

6-15-16 New Version of Google Sites Announced

Google Sites has long been in need of an update. Google just announced that the new version will be made available to organizations from now through the end of the year. There is an Early Adopters program that LSSU has signed up for that may make Sites available sooner rather than later.

What is new? From Googles announcement - "With the new Google Sites, you can build beautiful, functional pages to aggregate and distribute content across your enterprise, optimized for every screen. A new intuitive drag-and-drop design experience supports real-time collaboration by multiple editors, just like in Docs, and offers easy access to all your content from Calendar, Docs, Drive, Maps and more. The new Sites also includes themes and layouts designed to scale and flex to any screen size, so they’re as useful when you access them on the 30-inch monitor at your desk or your smartphone on your commute."

What does this mean? Not much in the short term. Teachers and students should continue doing what you do. When the new version becomes available, we will provide training  and guidance.

Google has said that the current version of Sites will remain fully functional for at least one year and in the future, there will be an option for moving current content to a New Site.
