She was right. Three days in and my brain is swimming. Today we got into just what I had been craving- some of the nooks and crannies of using Google Apps for Education. I spent last year exploring and experimenting with Google Docs, Forms, Sheets, Sites, Classroom, trying to launch everything at once with my newly acquired Chromebooks, drenching my poor students in tech. Even though I created a fair amount of chaos, I learned a lot and became thirsty for some fine tuning. Now, our amazing MERIT instructors have exposed us to so much already.
Best nuggets of the day:
- Using Autocrat and Google Forms/Sheets to create individualized feedback pages for students
- Use Google Forms as rubrics
- To easily organize form responses from multiple classes, choose "new sheet in existing spreadsheet" under response destinations
- Get URLs for partially pre-filled in forms to use for easy sign in/out
- Google updated their themes on Forms! Customize away!
- Password protect Google Forms with "Advanced Settings for Text"
- Freeze important rows and columns to keep them present when scrolling
- Easily view a set of Google Classroom turned-in assignments by clicking on the Drive folder, selecting all, then "preview"
- Number your Google Classroom assignments! (001...)
- Extensions are amazing! For example, OneTab, goo.gl URL Shortener, Google Docs Quick Create
- Ask parents to view and comment on blog posts
Things to explore:
- Class Dojo for class participation management
- Doctopus
