It is constantly amazing how much technology has to offer in terms of uses for instructing students. What is even more amazing is that as many ideas as you can think of for using technology, others can come with that many more different ideas. It is only by talking with others that we can share all of our wonderful ideas together to benefit students.
For example, one idea I learned from a fellow training participant today (Thanks Cindy!) was to use the Google Calendar to link to a Google Docs form and have students complete exit slips, bell ringers, and other short assessments online. Not only does it cut down on paper and copies but by using the Google Docs, all student answers will be summarized and tabulated automatically without having to do it yourself.
Taking this even further at a district level, using the calendar to post the district's professional development opportunities would also allow registrants to click on the event and then be instantly transported to the registration survey though Google Docs.
The possibilities are endless. What ideas can you think of? Add your own ideas by commenting below.
