Exam View Update Nth

#ewgrsd

About a year ago,  Google announced the shuttering of drive's built in web server.  I commented about how that might change to your use of old Exam View implementations.  Fast forward to September 2016. Surprise! The day of reckoning is here. After 8/31/2016, you will, reportedly, no longer be able to serve Exam View or other web pages from your Google Drive.

Happily, there are drag and drop solutions which, unlike the kludgy horror show I proposed last October, are easily and freely implemented.

Before you watch the step by step video below, please consider the following:

• Some versions of exam view are from the mid to late nineties., and they're still in use at EWG! They're nearing 20 years in age!
• The nineties was a completely different epoch in computing's life span.
• It's time to upgrade to something newer.
• Or convert to Socrative, Google Forms (which now has a built in quiz feature), or the formative assessment tool of your choice.
• Dragging the ancient versions of Exam View into the future has been challenging. The latest workaround will probably work for a while, but future miracles are not guaranteed.

UPDATE 9/8/2016:  The district's content filter blocks droppages.com. Before you go live, contact IT to unlock your droppages domain. For example, if your droppages web site is ewgmath.droppages.com, you would request that ewgmath.droppages.com be unblocked for students. Also, as of this update, web pages being served through Google Drive are still available, but that is likely to change soon.

Update 9/28/2016:  And change it did. Google drive web hosting is no more.
