Cursive - a new note taking app for Chromebook users
Cursive is a new note taking app from Google but it isn't an app store app - it is a web-based 'progressive Web App' and that means anyone (with a Chromebook) can use it now.
It is still 'early' in it's life and I will try and share more about it in the future. If you are a Chromebook user - visit the URL cursive.apps.chrome, unleash your stylus and give it a test drive.
Discover how Google Search works
We all use Google Search - regularly! We rely on it to find the answers to our questions. Seeing we are so dependent upon it maybe we should take an opportunity to learn more about it.
Google has recently updated their 'How Search works' website. It is worth a couple of moments of your time.
Mote - recent updates and developments
Mote is a platform that allows you to record audio comments and the like in Google Workspace applications. For example - if you are commenting upon a student's Google Document you can leave audio comments in the comment boxes - rather than texting.
Staff at Campus des Nations who are interested in giving Mote a try - please let me know and I will sort you out with a subscription.
Mote has made the following recent updates:
- Pause recording in Google Classroom and Google Slides
- iOS app
- Extension and iOS app localization into Chinese, French and other languages. Find out how to switch your language.
