Here is the list of Google Scripts (and Add-ons) I can’t live without (in no particular order). Special thanks to all the writers/coders/developers who made these (and by proxy has made my tech life easier)
- Google Sites Manage Announcements by Phil Ridout – Use this to prune old posts on your Google Site announcement pages. DL the Google Sheet template, load the URLs you want to prune, and run. Works like a dream with several options. If you want to get fancy and automate, set up a trigger and walk away.
- postBlaster by New Visions Cloud Lab – Use this in email announcements from your Google Sites pages. Make a copy of this sheet, plug in your info and let it rip. Every time you post, it sends a customized email to any number of addresses.
- chromebookInventory by New Visions Cloud Lab – If you manage Chromebooks, this add-on is a must! Complies an export of your entire domain OU and allows you to edit and push the changes back. Need to move huge numbers for PARCC or other kisok-applications? This tool will make your life so much easier. Make the changes in a Google Sheet and it updates the GAFE Admin.
- autoCrat Add-on by New Visions Cloud Lab – This is the be all and end all of scripts/add-ons. I use this for *every* form we have on the web: discipline, announcements, professional development, I&RS, you name it. It allows you to create customized docs and emails. Very flexible and powerful, especially when you use triggers.
- Flubaroo by Dave Abouav {edCode.org} – The Holy Grail of automatic grading for Google Forms. Have your students take a test/quiz and Flubaroo automatically grades it and emails them the results (sometimes in seconds!) My teachers *love* this add-on.
