AppsEvents Certified Admin (ACA) Strand on Deep Learning Teaching Innovations Conference Bangkok


Good news to all educators based in Bangkok and neighboring cities who are interested in taking our in-person Google Apps Admin Certification course, as AppsEvents in cooperation with the DEEP Learning committee brings you the ACA strand to the Deep Learning Teaching Innovations Conference Bangkok.

About AppsEvents Certified Admin

The ‘AppsEvents Certified Admin’ (ACA) is an entry level certification and focused on getting educators with basic or no admin experience to 'level up' and be able to administer a Google Apps domain. It’s equally focused on teaching and non teaching staff and one of the reasons we started the program was to help with the democratization of IT admin and helping more teachers to get involved.

It is intended for someone coming in to an ‘up and running’ Google Apps domain and does not include set-up, which we cover in our advanced ‘Level 2 certification’. More information available here.

About DEEP Learning Conference

The DEEP Learning Conference offers innovative teaching and learning experience by bringing the best of many worlds together and will take place at Thai-Chinese International School from March 21 to 22, 2015. The conference takes pride in giving a professional development event where such emphasis has been placed on giving you the ability to craft your own personal experience. Learn more here.

How To Bypass Google Drive Viewer and Create Direct Download Links

Google Drive has revolutionized the way we share files and collaborate with others. You can upload and share almost any file format you can think of and the people whom you share the file with can easily preview a file, even without installing the needed software on their browser via Google Drive Viewer (PSD and CAD files anyone?).

This is an awesome feature, but there are cases where you may want to share a direct download link instead of taking the user to the browser viewer. Say for example, you need to print a document and the only printer available is connected to a shared PC. If you don’t want to login to your Google account on other computers, a direct link would come in handy.

Amit of Digital Inspiration has found a way to skip the web viewer and allow users to download a file automatically. Currently, Google Drive doesn’t have an easy option to generate direct links through the web UI. To do this, you simply need to edit the URL generated based on the patterns below.

New Gmail Features Deep Dive

By +James Sayer

And so...it’s here! The new Gmail just launched globally this week and users will start seeing the option to turn it on over the next few days (if you haven’t already). So what is the new Gmail interface like and how will it impact your productivity? We dive deeper into Gmail here….

I remember back in 2004 I accepted my invitation to join Gmail. Beginning with 1GB of space (that doesn't sound so much these days!) we were amazed at all the free storage. And as a bonus, the amount of space would increase incrementally on a daily basis! Nowadays we have unlimited storage with Google EDU domains..so how can Google innovate on email now?

The last time Gmail was updated was 2011, so it was about time the interface got a refresh. Google have been careful to test the new interface on senior users whom are more sensitive to drastic changes in usability. Whilst functionality has seen some major boosts, you will still find most of your favorite tools and options in their exis…

Google Easter Eggs: Show Pony Parade, Shy Dino, and Angry Mob on Hangouts

Image
One of our favorite thing about summits (aside from the free drink parties :D), is the Demo Slam session where attendees get to show off their Google tricks and tips to the rest of the crowd by doing a 2 minute live demonstration. For today’s blog post, we are highlighting this wacky demo slam by +Stephen Reiach, Director of Technology from the American School of Milan and one of the attendees of 2014 Germany Summit held in Frankfurt.

If you think there couldn’t be anything more cooler than having the ability to talk to anyone, anywhere in the world, think again. Open Hangouts right now and type /ponies or /ponystream on the chat box and see magical ponies run across the chat window.


This is the most beautiful thing that ever happened to Hangouts! Somebody at Google must love My Little Pony so much.

There are few other surprises you can try, see chart below for the complete list and tell us which is your favorite.
