Re: Question for Blended Learning

[Alan B]

Doris,

Following up Dan's note, here is a link I found with detailed instructions
how to install OpenOffice on a Chromebook. The article is dated July this
year so it is as current as possible.

http://www.linuxmadesimple.info/2020/07/how-to-install-openoffice-on-chromebook.html

I saw that Google Docs includes an app called "Forms". It may or may not
enable teaching the database concepts in your lesson. From the looking I
did, there didn't seem to be a way to review the underlying structure.

I also found that Google has a product called "Google Cloud Databases".
These included traditional SQL, e.g. MS SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and
others, as well as noSQL databases. There is a free option with this
product. You would have to check with Google to ask if there is an
educational option.

These two options are mentioned because Chromebooks are designed for
connected use and it generally requires some extra work, per the
instructions in the link, to install local programs on them as is done with
a traditional Windows pc/laptop.

The files are stored under high security on Sourceforge servers, whose network 
is used to provide a server near your location.  If you are in any doubt about 
the integrity of the files, use the "How to verify the download" link on the 
OpenOffice download page.

Our county schools will have 'blended learning'  where students have
face-to-face instruction two days a week and work at home online three days
a week. Our county is have 1-to-1 digital initiative where all students
grades 4-12 will receive a Chromebook to use for at-home distance learning.

We have traditionally used Microsoft Office Access to teach units on
database concepts. We are looking for options that will enable us to teach
that unit using other platforms on Chromebooks.

Thank you for any insight you can provide
Open Office and LibreOffice be installed on chromebook. Instructions 
for installing LibreOffice are found here: 
https://support.google.com/chromebook/thread/29506100?hl=en. I don's 
see any reason why Open Office could not be installed the same way. 
(LibreOffice is a fork of Open Office.) You might want to check out 
both of these programs to see which one you might want to use. There 
are also user guides that can be downloaded for free.


In case you did not know, both of these programs' license allows you to 
download the installation file and then install it on as many computers 
as you have. There is no cost for downloading the program either. (A 
copy of the license comes with the download file.)

Question for Blended Learning

Does Open Office offer a solution for users on ChromeBooks?

Our county schools will have 'blended learning'  where students have
face-to-face instruction two days a week and work at home online three days
a week. Our county is have 1-to-1 digital initiative where all students
grades 4-12 will receive a Chromebook to use for at-home distance learning.

database concepts. We are looking for options that will enable us to teach

If it doesn't recover the document, then press Cancel, and reconcile yourself 
to  the fact that that document, as last edited, is irrecoverable.  If you have 
a Saved earlier copy, then use that and redo your last edits and additions.

This also happens when I open a new page been ongoing now for about 3 weeks
and yes I do need the document or I would not be opening it!



Please I need help I cannot find where to sign in on your opening home,
page but my problem is that for the past week every time I open a document
(regardless of whether or not I have done so before) I get the 'crashed'
box and have to 'start recovery' etc, this has been going on for a week. I
did download the latest version thinking that would solve it but to no
avail it is now becoming a nuisance what is the solution please?

The missing image is capture of the Templates login page, showing an
"Unable to send e-mail. Contact the site administrator if the problem
