Google has announced updates to Practice Sets, Cast Moderator, and more.
Google itself appears to have its eye on one such demographic: educators. The company has spent the past year speaking to teachers about their computing habits and computing needs. “A lot of teachers were using products that were not Chromebooks, but they were running the Google software suite,” says John Solomon, Google’s VP of ChromeOS and Education, in an interview withPart of that is a matter of build.
“Something we’ve heard consistently is teachers feel like there’s just not enough time in the day,” says Solomon. “If we can actually automate tasks, we’re able to give the teacher time back.”tool will allow teachers to add interactive questions to YouTube videos. As you can see in the screenshot above, videos will pause where a question has been set, and students are marked right or wrong in real-time.
Many teachers, Sinha recounts, are in the habit of sending their students videos to watch followed by quizzes on their contents. This new feature would, hopefully, reduce both the need to create such quizzes and the need to grade them. “I remember, as a TA in college, spending hours and hours over the weekend grading papers,” Sinha says. “They can save hours of grading, because all of a sudden the technology can do the work for them.
Screencast is expanding to support a dozen new languages for recording and transcription this year, including Spanish, Japanese, Swedish, and Italian.On the Chromebook front, Google has made a few tweaks to Chrome OS’s Cast Moderator feature . Casters can now pause the screen they’re casting and switch the tab that’s being shown without ending the cast.
