It was a feature but I cannot find it in 2012 !
I am looking for the VBA for the Pivot-Table

I tried some Excel VBA in Zoho spreadsheets

Protecting Students is important to all of us using Google Apps for Edu (GAFE)

Protecting Students is important to all of us using Google Apps for Edu (GAFE)

Returning from a Google Apps Summit in New England...

I found out that many different schools are using different user name structures
for various reasons.

In our current system we use an email structure like 1264587@domain.ca
Only 5% of 140000 students use their email.

Not very good in my opinion !

Let us share and learn from your «User Name» structure

GAFE Student User Name Survey (Click)

Results of the User Name Survey (Click)

The dilemma:

Having the real First and Last Name in student accounts is helpful to staff & students (so is a picture)

Having the names show-up in outbound emails and shares has privacy issues (If we allow emails out of the domain)

I am looking for tricks to mask the first and last name on Email sends (and Doc Shares)

(If we take the approach to keep things more open)

Your tips are appreciated

Thank you group

Michael Geist - Blog What the New Copyright Law Means For You

Michael Geist - Blog: "Michael Geist's Blog
What the New Copyright Law Means For You
More than a decade of debate over Canadian copyright reform came to a conclusion last week as Bill C-11, the fourth try at reform since 2005, formally took effect. While several elements of the bill still await further regulations, the biggest overhaul of Canadian copyright law in years is now largely complete.
My weekly technology law column (Toronto Star version, homepage version) notes the wholesale changes have left many Canadians wondering how the law will affect them, as they seek plain language about what they can do, what they can't, and what consequences they could face should they run afoul of the law.
