Tonight I had the pleasure of doing a Google Hangout on the Air with Liz Castillo from Hawaii, Angie Kalthoff from Minnesota and Jay Atwood from Singapore. We shared about four of our favorite scripts:
- FormEmailer: Send email from a form
- Autocrat: Create PDFs and Google Docs from a form
- FormMule: Send out emails, voice messages, texts and calendar invites through a form
- Doctopus: Create copies of Google Docs, Presentations and Spreadsheets - then share them out with students/teachers
Andrew Stillman - the author of many of these scripts - has a great site to learn more about how to use these (and more) scripts in case our Hangout video wasn't detailed enough: youpd.org.
If that's not enough Script love for you, here's an early holiday gift: Jay has an amazing site chock full of script info, graphics and tips. I highly encourage you to check it out: sandbox.atwoodphoto.com.
Great post Jennie! I know have a starting point with scripting, something that's been on my list to conquer but every time there's a session on it I'm presenting in another room. This is definitely PD 2999.
ReplyDeleteOh! I wish that I could have been in on this hangout! Sounds so cool. I would love to have more discussion with others about the uses of scripts.
ReplyDeleteGreat resources. I enjoyed the application to teachers and schools discussions. Can't wait for part two. We are using scripting to "efficify" the RTI initiative. ( Response To Intervention)
ReplyDeleteThis is something I'm interested in. Great information! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks guys and gals for sharing this video for all of us to see! The only script I was using this past year was Flubaroo, but now I have a whole new set to start experimenting with! Thanks again!
