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.

Google Reboot 2013
On Friday, I attended the Google Certified Teacher and Trainers Reboot in New Your City. We had a fabulous day with a mix of GCT's, and Googlers. It was great to reconnect with everyone and meet some new folks. The networking at an event like this is really inspiring!
As always, Google is an amazing host and Jordan Pedraza was a spectacular planner and master of ceremonies! I was lucky enough to work with Jordan, Cheryl Oakes, and Susan Ettenheim on the planning team. Here are the resources.
And, #gctreboot2013 was trending on Twitter! Here's what we had to say!
A few of us debriefed after the session. Thanks to the NY Tech Ed Group!
