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!

LAN School Teacher

Lan School Teacher is a great tool for managing your computer lab instruction. You can monitor students, assist them remotely, or control/blank their screens, either as a whole class, or on a "select by student" basis. If you've never used it before, you'll watch this and start to wonder where this has been all your life.

Here is a simple how-to video that shows you how to use it.
