Cloud Lab for Teachers – The CloudLab -- a project of New Visions for Public Schools -- is dedicated to tooling-up educators and school leaders with free, flexible building blocks for the redesign of teaching and learning, and to incubating and spreading breakthrough tools and practices for the highest needs schools.  Our team works in close design and capacity-building relationships with the leadership and staff in over 200 NYC public high-schools, allowing us to bring valuable insights, direct access to schools, and technical skills to bear in the development of solutions that land.

  • Google Apps Introduction – We use the Google Apps for Education platform to build all of our tools because it is free and easy to use.  These resources will introduce you to using this platform.
  • Google Classroom Google Classroom has served as an amazing starting point allowing teachers to easily distribute and collect student assignments.  The resources below feature initial set up support for using this app with your students.  
  • Easily Attach Rubrics  Goobric has come to rescue teachers from the dreaded task of using rubrics to assess student work and give in-depth feedback for improvement and revision.  This interactive rubric can be forever attached to student assignments minimizing risk of loss and enhancing the revision process.
  • Digitize Assignment Differentiation Many classroom teachers spend most of the day chasing after paper from their students.  Whether it’s differentiating the distribution and assessment of assignments, or collecting assignments and storing student data, Doctopus has come to serve as a virtual assistant to help you “Revolutionize Your Workflow!”
  • Capture and Send Student Feedback  Use the docAppender Add-On to create a system which allows you to easily submit a Google Form that attaches submissions to specific student docs based on the student name.  This can be helpful if you are giving students feedback while they are presenting or having students give each other feedback.  
  • Create Student Progress Reports The Autocrat Add-On will allow you to easily create merged documents that will merge items into individual documents based on what has been inserted from a spreadsheet cell.  You can imagine having student name and scores get easily merged into individual documents for progress report creation. 
  • Manage Student Portfolios Longing to create student portfolios but unsure how to manage it? Use siteMaestro to easily manage and support digital portfolios for all of your students. 
  • Create Formative Assessments Use Google Forms to quickly receive formative student feedback.
