Google Docs - www.google.com = Post the link to your Google Doc. Give a brief statement on how you plan to implement this in your classroom. = [|Simple Machines] Here is a link to my Simple Machines survey. This survey will be used as a pre- and post-test where I can use the data to see what my students already know and in the end what they have learned. I used multiple forms of questions to help me gain an understanding of what type of questions my students do better at asking and what type of questions they have difficulty answering. -Austin Mitchell

Here is the link to my Google Document

The document is a form for grade 6 students to fill out providing me with information about what their perceptions are about percentages. I call these "Anticipation Guides", and I use them before I start a new topic or unit. It is not really a pre-assessment since I'm not asking them to solve any problems per se, but just to get students thinking about what we're moving on to next. Then I use their responses to initiate a preliminary class discussion about the new idea. Sometimes I will follow up at the end of the topic or unit and give them the same questions and let them see if their perceptions have changed after learning about it.

I have found them to be very effective tools for getting kids talking about math (which is sometimes more challenging than one would think). I have not tried using a digital format, but I would like to start initiating this in my classes. Unfortunately, Google is blocked in China, so I will need to find a different site. (I was able to complete the assignment by using a VPN that connects me to a server in Miami.)

Google Docs Lab Post
 * [|Get To Know You Classroom Survey] created by Melissa Pierce
 * Google Docs is a new form of technology for me, and with only minor hiccups, found that it could be a very helpful resource. I chose to develop a survey that I intend to use during our Back-to-School Ice Cream Social. My partner teacher and I will be doing a scavenger hunt in our classrooms to get everyone acquainted with the different learning areas in our space. I thought I would have completing the survey as one of the tasks on the hunt. It’s short enough that it should only take a couple of minutes to complete, and it will get me the information I need from parents without having to interrogate them in front of a crowd.I also like the fact that I can email my co-worker this link and we can brainstorm together how to change it while still only having one document; as apposed to sending an email with an attachment where you may have several different drafts of the same document.

 * The Base Installation and Security Systems Surveywould be used to refine course content after completion of the course.
 * This was the first experience I had with Google Docs as well. It seems like it could be a very powerful tool. My only wish is that it was not blocked on the Air Force's network (so I could utilize it at work). I do understand the reasoning why it is not accessible.

Google Doc Drawing by Kate Wirsing _
 * [|Venn Diagram]
 * For a President’s Day activity my computer students are given the name of a president and are asked to find certain information and record it in a word document using complete sentences. With Google Docs drawing, I can have the students put their ideas down in a Venn diagram. For every project students are begging to work with partners. I can have them partner with a student from the other grade level class. The drawing feature on Google Docs would enable them to use a different method of reporting information while collaborating with a partner. Each student would be responsible for recording their assigned president’s information in a circle and adding a picture. They would then search for things that the presidents had in common. In my example, I color coded the sites with the information. This could be useful if they needed to go back to a website to find the information.

Thank you Chris for the instructions. Here's my link to my google document: Election Survey

Google Doc Conference Sign Up bu Kaitlyn McMahan
 * [|Conference Sign Up]
 * Every year, I've struggled with finding the best way to get parents to sign up for their fall conference. This Google Doc is perfect! I won't have to send home any papers asking parents to pick a date, or any follow up papers telling them that the date they chose has already been booked. It saves paper and time and is so much easier than any other method I've tried

Scites, Karly []# This is the link to my GoogleDoc. I want student work to be private so we will actuallybe using a different link but the page display is the same. Students will... The goal is for students to think of the writing process as a collaborative process.
 * post work to the doc
 * read others work and comment (peer edit)
 * revise work
 * post final copy

Google Doc - Collecting Data > Jacob McMahan


 * Following the link above you will find a Google Doc I created to help teach a Graphing unit. Students will learn that taking a Survey is one way to collect data. While completing the survey, they will also be compiling different data that we will use in class to create different types of graphs.

Here is a link to my Google Doc: Behavior Log My document is a Behavior Log designed as a form. Being certified as a special education teacher, I have used behavior logs numerous times. I have seen some very effective behavior logs and I have seen some that just don't work. I have designed this log with the components that I found to be very beneficial in a behavior long. Currently, I work with individuals with developmental disabilities. We are constantly discussing and analyzing the appropriateness of their behavior. I think this behavior log is something my clients will find very helpful, I am eager to try it out. -Amy Sniffen

Google doc- Safety Presentation by TimCloss I have created a presentation for use in my classroom. I plan on breaking the students into groups and have each group of students create slides for their section of the presentation. This will be part of the saftey section that I am required to cover. After the presentation is complete I will make corrections if needed and I will present it to the class, were students will beable to ask questions of other groups sections. The rules the students generate will be used for the saftey test at the end of the unit.

Behavior Chart by Shannon Nelson We have implemented a behavior incentive program for students in which each homeroom class has a folder with each student's name for then day of the week. The folder follows them to every class and students progress through a color coded system based on the school and classroom rules. See the first page of the doc to see the color representation. The goal is for students to stay on green in order to have specific rewards and incentives. Hope this helps and that you may find it easy to use for your own classes.
