Using Google forms for gathering assignments

Use Google forms to sort student assignments. 

This idea will also enable you to easily see each project for grading.

1   Create a Google form adding information like student name, grade, period, teacher, and project.

     Embed Google form into Moodle.

3   After students create their project, “share” to find the link needed for embedding.

     Students can complete the Google form and embed their work into the project bar.

5  A spreadsheet of responses will be created for you to easily manage grading and sorting.

Blendspace

Blendspace is a really great organizing tool to use at any level and any subject. In the high school, I have actually had students create their own Blendspaces to present information too. I have been researching appropriate Google Apps, and this is one I thought anyone could use. Check it out! (Easy to use also).

You can go to blendspace.com, or find it in Google Apps. There is a tutorial in written format, and a short video. Here is a link to one of my Blendspaces:

Two productive uses for Google Forms

A HS SPED teacher is using Google forms on her iPad to track a student's behavior.  There are many strengths to this idea, one is the ability to create charts to share with students, parents, and staff.

Another idea - Use Google forms to create a pre-unit survey to help make decisions what needs to be taught and to whom.  The results of this survey can be compared year after year.  The same survey can be given after teaching, too.  I also like the ability to regroup the information collected.

Anyone know how. . .

Is your laptop screen blurry?

If your laptop screen appears blurry, this might be because it is hooked up to a projector. This can be frustrating when spending longer periods of time looking at your screen.

  On some laptops there is a shortcut key to switch between display options.  On many elementary school computers this key is F4. Pressing that button will bring up several display options: Computer Only (which will get rid of the output to the projector), Duplicate (which will output to the projector an exact clone of your screen), Extend (which will act as an extension of your screen - so you can drag items over to it), and Projector Only (which will turn off your display and only show through the projector).

STARS!

Most of you probably know this but it was a revelation for me!  You can "star" certain documents and search by starred items to make finding your stuff faster--I found it really helpful when I imported all my WORD documents over to my googledrive.

Calendar

I've created a google calendar with Faculty, BLT, Collaboration, and Department meetings--if anyone would like a copy let me know and I'll add you to my "share" list!

The google calendars work well with my iPhone too!
