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.
