I prepared this Forms walk-through as a source for teachers in my district to learn the basic use of Google Forms. Please feel free to use and share it as you need.
I've learned a lot lately about what can and can't be done with a Google doc to manage what happens when I share it with other people. In most instances, I use the built in sharing settings when I want to collaborate or convert my docs to PDF and share that so that my original can't be changed by anyone. Recently, I found that this was not the only way to do this and really it probably wasn't the most convenient way to share my documents. I've tried publishing my Google docs, but have found mixed success with the formatting. It seems that publishing works best with Google Slides, but other file types are not as friendly. To get around these hurdles, adjusting the URL can be a really useful way to make your work or your students' work available.

One of my most favorite ways to give feedback to students is using the Private Comments feature in Google Classroom. Much of my love for them has come from what I've learned from Alice Keeler, both on her blog and from her session at our Tech Kickoff this past August. I like this so much because it allows for personal, instant, and constant feedback to students on an individual level from anywhere, anytime. I know many teachers in my district don't like the fact that they are getting notifications from students at all times of the day, but I think it's great to see that my students are interested in their work for me when they have the time to do it. Plus, it gives me a great way to talk to students about time management, commitments, and prioritizing the things in your life (even if it ends up that my class works isn't the priority, it still opens up that window!). One quick note: I've found that many people don't see the difference between the Private Com...
Right before Christmas break, I interviewed 4th grade teacher, Kelli Ogle, about how she is using Google Classroom with her students. This is the first episode in a series that I have planned for showcasing technology use within my district. My hope is to have other teachers in the district see what is happening around them, right in their own backyard, and work to enhance what they are doing in their classrooms. There is a video version of the interview on our department's YouTube channel , as well as the audio only version posted to my iTech website . The next episode is going to feature a middle school Language Arts teacher and we'll talk about using Doctopus + Goobric + Classroom to give students feedback via a rubric.
