Episode 3 Show Notes:
Google News and Updates
- Toontastic 3D now available
- YouTubers create education content on learning languages
- New Chromebooks: http://ift.tt/2ke0UZf
- Android apps: Last May, Google announced that Android apps were coming to Chromebooks. In the coming weeks, Chromebook administrators will be able to create a library of approved Android apps and install them on select managed Chromebooks. Students will be able to access millions of Android apps, like Toontastic and Science Journal, for learning both online and offline.
The New Google Sites
The new Google Sites allows for a beautiful design with easy-to-use drag and drop elements including Google files (Docs, Slides, Sheets, Forms, Charts).
The new sites also allow creators to embed maps, YouTube videos, calendars on easy to manage and arranged pages. The themes are elegant to design easily and collaborate to let others edit a site.
Great a good entry point for newer users and those that don’t need fancy options when designing websites.
