    Does anyone know if its possible to change the interface on google docs to a more simple interface with less toolbars?
    This is how it looks by default:
    google docs toolbar Google docs simple interface
    This is how I’d like it to look if I were to have pupils use google apps:
    google docs simple toolbar Google docs simple interface

  • Primary School ICT interface for safe search and pupils and teachers resources

    Date: 2009.05.21 | Category: ergonomics, google, interface, internet, Primary School Safe Search, primaryschoolict.com, safe, Safe Search, simple | Response: 0

    So Iv’e been making a new interface, so what?

    Well I really went all out this time, many of you may know the Primary School Safe Search engine, it currently recieves bout 4000 hits a day and is used in hundereds of schools..
    I may make it perm, it depends on teacher feed back and general observations.  Primary School ICT  is designed it to work on 1024/768+ which is an issue cause some schools still run on 8×6 especially on IWB machines..

  • Testbase theme for Office 2007 or simplfied Office 2007 user interface

    Date: 2009.05.11 | Category: adm, childrens, group policy, kids, office, office 2007, pack, Primary School, pupils, simple, student, testbase, theme | Response: 0

    Does anyone know if either of these exist? I swear I have seen one that used group policy objects & ADM snap ins.

    I found the Office 2007 adms but all they allow you to do is disable objects, I want to hide/increase size/remove objects & entire tabs.

    I need them for a primary school to do a proof of concept.
