Using Google Sites As Portfolio Projects

Just completed another project where 40 students used (old) Google Sites (because they are Apps Scriptable) as Portfolio Sites. Each student gets a copy of a template site.

If the student wants to invite a personal Gmail account to this new site, and then that personal Gmail account makes a Copy of it, it is removed completely from the york domain - meaning when the student leaves, it won't be deleted.

A Working Booking System In Google Sheets

Working with Andras Sztrokay we had another go at a booking system. This time it was to enable staff to book out a number of iPads over a number of days. You select the days you want, then select the Booking menu. Andras did an amazing job. It even creates a daily bookings sheet so you can see who has which iPads.
