    Another vote for Edulink. It's great.

    I just upload our SIMS CSV files to Drive every night using GAM with a scheduled task. It works flawlessly. I wish I could find a way to do the same with OneDrive and Power BI!

    And another thumbs up for Edulink. We were moved onto SIMS 12 months ago by our trust, having been used to a cloud MIS (Progresso). Edulink has made it relatively painless and in many ways is an upgrade. Most staff don't even have a SIMS login. Their support is brilliant.

    It's "advanced" GAM. It's got quite a few more features.

    I'd be surprised if this wasn't possible with Advanced GAM. The guy who wrote it, Ross Scroggs, is very active and helpful on the Google Group. He's done a couple of Meets with me before to figure out how to do things I needed. https://groups.google.com/g/google-apps-manager/

    I never got it running on my own machine. We have it running on the server itself, which I go onto if I need to edit the batch files/scheduled tasks (almost never).
  7. NotSoFast
    Same here. It works really well.
  8. NotSoFast
    Ours has been fine, touch wood...

    Never heard of it. Tell me more...

    This is a little worrying. I think there is a reasonable chance we'll need to do some remote learning next term and we've seen recording these as a vital safeguarding tool. Does anyone have a feel for pricing on the "Teaching and Learning Plus" edition? Or is there anyone here from Google who can comment on whether the free access would be continued in the event of further lockdowns? Alternatively, has anyone got a workaround - maybe a screen recorder I suppose?

    I thought gov.notify just handled SMS. What am I missing?

    You could create a teacher user and add them to all classes. This way they can view any work they like. GAM can do this very quickly. That said, I'm pretty sure inspectors won't expect you to have special systems in place just for them. The question might be "How do teachers check students' work? Can I see?" Alternatively, they may get the students to show them their work during a lesson.

    We set it up in September. Their support team were great and checked it before we sent the invite. We did have a problem where the new email address we used to send invites, notifications etc got identified by Google as potential spam, but that resolved itself over a week or so. I'd probably suggest sending a few invites at a time to let Google (we use Gmail) realise it's genuine. Our parents love it now. Nothing but positive feedback.

    It may not be an option for you, but Google Data Studio is free.

    The new Edexcel GCSE requires you to program "live" under exam conditions. There's no coursework in any GCSE CS spec now.
