Welcome!

I will be collecting various resources here that talk about the use of technology in education. My goal is to write it in simple language so that the "non-techies" can feel confident enough to try the ideas in their own classrooms. See my video playlist of videos I have made by clicking the word "playlist" in the player. You can, of course, also watch the videos on YouTube (by clicking the YouTube logo), or in full screen mode (by clicking the 'four corners' box in the lower right of the video box). There is a also a search bar and a cloud of labels you can use to sort content according to specific topics. Enjoy, and good luck!

Create an On-line Survey with Google Forms

I have used Google forms for all sorts of different applications.  I have had students complete them as on-line quizzes (you can even get paid plugins that will mark them for you!), I have used them for having parents sign up for interview time slots, and for getting staff feedback on school issues.  In short, anything you can think of for you to conduct a survey on can be easily done in Google Forms.  Once the data is collected, it can be easily analyzed in charts, graphs, or within a spreadsheet.  My junior level students have created surveys and collected data as part of their Data Management unit in math.  My students last year got people responding to their surveys from as far away as Australia and Africa!  How's THAT for going beyond the walls of the classroom?  And hey... if your junior level students can do it, then so can you.  Give it a try!
