G-Tips by @mdowhower: Updates to Google Apps Management and a New Technical Depolyment Slide Deck
Hey everyone! There has been a lot of exciting things relating to Google Apps management rolling out of Mountain View. The big announcement is that we are getting a new Google Admin Console. This new GAC is vastly different than the old cPanel that we are use to. Google has made it a little more customizeable with drag and drop functionality as well as moved about every setting in the dashboard. I encourage you to check out Google's information page about the transition. If you don't see the changes in your domain yet, you will soon.

Living Your Life. Online
For the last few years we have had a day set aside to do work on Digital Citizenship. This year we changed the format. On two different days we offered 10 half hour sessions that ran 2 times. Students chose the sessions they wanted to go to. They were based on the themes:
- Safe or Sorry
- Real or Fake
- Share a Little or A Lot
- Create/Credit or Steal
- Bully or Protect

Script for Adding Multiple Pages to a Google Site
-- Takes the URL of an existing Google Site and uses a list of students (with email addresses) to generate a page per student.-- Allows you to construct the page titles in the spreadsheet.-- Allows you to position the student pages underneath any page on your site.-- Lets you use standard Sites templates, or specify any custom page template you've created.-- Due to limitations in the Apps Script API, this script DOES NOT use "Page-Level Permissions". As a workaround, all students will be added as top-level editors to the Site.-- Runs entirely from a single UI panel. Super simple to deploy.
