Four #GR8Finds #ThisWeek -- Nurph, Programming Languages, Google Classroom, and #TheDress

[I blog every Friday about my #GR8Finds #ThisWeek. My list is very v-e-r-r-r-y selective
--my own crème de la crème curation. Generally, three to five 
#GR8Finds
.]

February 27

Four goodies this week, and a nice variety!

1. Nurph: A Twitter Chat Moderator's Dream Come True!

This is a great testimonial from +Nikki D Robertson (I agree!), with graphics.




2. List of programming languages

I had no idea there were so many!


Genealogical tree of programming languages



3. Google Classroom: New Treats for Teachers and Students

I'm a strong believer in getting the scoop from the source. I recommend adding Google for Education's blog to your must-read stream.


and be sure to check out Google for Education's Google+ community as well.



4. What colour is #TheDress? 

Here's how the argument started yesterday, and yes, our students argued vigorously about it today.



Here's an explanation from asapScience (BTW the dress is blue and black):




And this is what visual neuroscientist at Scientific American (and Seabury Hall alumnus) Stephen L. Macknik has to say about the phenomenon: Why Julianne Moore and Taylor Swift See That Dress Differently.

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Google Classroom: A Quick Look at the Student's View of an Assignment

Our English teacher Mrs. McLeod and I are learning together as she sets up her students' writing assignments using Google Classroom.

This is for Mrs. McLeod, and anyone else who needs a quick glimpse of what an assignment looks like on the student's end.


1. Student's View of the assignment.




2. When the student OPENs the assignment, he/she can ADD or CREATE a document.




3. Student can ADD a document from (1) Google Drive, (2) a link, or can (3) upload a file.





4. Student can CREATE a document, a presentation, a spreadsheet, or a drawing.






5. When a file is ADDed or CREATEd, the file appears in the student's drive, shared by the teacher.




Did I miss anything? Please let me know in the comments.
