App Inventor by MIT is one of the best open source teaching tools for app creation available right now, which is why I have created a series of 5 lessons for Wurkbuk. This series of lessons goes through the basics and ends with creating an app with adverts. This is the second free series of lessons created for Wurkbuk, the first being the Coding with Minecraft series....

It has been a few weeks now, since Wurkbuk Beta 3 was released, and digital worksheet management is all the better for it. However, that doesn't mean that things have been quiet. There has still been a lot of work going on behind the scenes. Just like with the previous major release, Wurkbuk Beta 2, there was a blog post explaining what would be next. In that, I had a list of things that I wanted to accomplish before the next release, and I must say, I'm proud that most of that was achieved. But there is much more that still needs to be done...

Following on from the Beta 3 update, I've created a video on how to create a Wurkbuk resource which has embedded Google docs. Wurkbuk has the ability to create copies of all chosen google docs for individual students. This video goes through all of that and shows you the work using the new 'Shared Lessons' view in the Teach section, as well as the set and due date features. The video also goes through the 4 part lesson template which is used for all the Coding with Minecraft lessons. I'll talk about more about that below...

The Wurkbuk Beta 3 update video is now live and can be viewed here and on the Wurkbuk YouTube page. It is also featured in our help documents section. It covers everything that was discussed in our blog post about the Wurkbuk Beta 3 release, and shows examples of how all the updates and new features work. Check it out.

It has now been about 5 months since Wurkbuk Beta 2 launched, and after intensive testing by over 200 students and teachers, lots of feedback, features and bug fixes, Wurkbuk Beta 3 is finally ready. This is the biggest update yet and brings us much closer to the final finished product. You can use and try it out right now, by clicking on the links to the Wurkbuk Beta 3 and to the Demo on the top right. But for more information and to find out what has changed, let's look at the details...
