SHARING AND RETRIEVING INFORMATION
My next task is trying to use the Google Docs Spreadsheet which is going to be the source of sharing student daily attendance reports after verification which requires real-time updating and access to teachers and administrators daily. This report is used for several reasons, to catch cutters, and mainly to verify attendance. We switched platforms this year and it's been very interesting for me so far this year. I was currently sending out a cumulative Excel Spreadsheet daily via email which takes up a large quantity of space per email recipient plus daily and assume the storage of all the emails for those that don't clear them. I knew the storage issue was coming and it did! I got this email from the District Office Security asking what was the report etc.. I explained and cc my AP. I knew this was coming because of the files being so large they would start to slow down the email system and use the space up with the cumulative spreadsheets. This is why I'm working on using the Google Docs Spreadsheet which can be uploaded to my folder on the School's share drive with a link which will be given to all teachers and administrators for them to go to for retrieval of students attendance. The data will show the time stamped for the last update so that the teachers know that the information is current that they've retrieved.
