I made a google Doc Survey with forms. You first pick the style which is the background before you start typing the questions. There are multiple types of questions. I used multiple choice, text box response, and check boxes. You can make the survey on any topic your heart desires. I made mine on family, just basic questions about size of the family, number of brothers and sisters, traditions, etc. You get many responses, and they are all anonymous.

I made a google Doc Survey with forms. You first pick the style which is the background before you start typing the questions. There are multiple types of questions. I used multiple choice, text box response, and check boxes. You can make the survey on any topic your heart desires. I made mine on family, just basic questions about size of the family, number of brothers and sisters, traditions, etc. You get many responses, and they are all anonymous. The response are automatically put into a spreadsheet within google docs. It updates regularly, as you watch your progress. This would be a great tool for a classroom website, if you wanted to get parents' opinions on field trips or whatnot. The following is a link to the survey that I made: <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1pd1OHrMDdKJwf9XaRGXjTnQTce_73MrFG8fWo-WWIYk/viewform?usp=send_form">https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1pd1OHrMDdKJwf9XaRGXjTnQTce_73MrFG8fWo-WWIYk/viewform?usp=send_form</a><br />

<p>I never realized how easy it would be to create a survey and be able to quickly collect data. There are so many ways that you could use these surveys in a classroom in either a formal or informal way to be able to assess where a student is or to see if they learned what they needed to in a particular day or segment of class.</p>

<p>I recently finished developing a course using the new iTunesU course creator. It was an interesting experience which I've reflected on over on my <a href="http://electriceducator.blogspot.com/2012/04/how-to-build-course-for-itunesu.html" target="_blank">blog</a>.</p>

<p>I recently finished developing a course using the new iTunesU course creator. It was an interesting experience which I've reflected on over on my <a href="http://electriceducator.blogspot.com/2012/04/how-to-build-course-for-itunesu.html" target="_blank">blog</a>.</p>
<p>The course that I created is a professional development course titled "<a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/course/google-in-the-classroom/id517678928?ls=1" target="_blank">Google in the Classroom</a>." The course is designed to help teachers learn how to use various Google products (Docs, Sites, Calendar, etc) in their classroom. I included lots of project ideas from educators around the country to get people started. You can view/access the course <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/course/google-in-the-classroom/id517678928?ls=1" target="_blank">here</a>. </p>
<p>The best part about the new iTunesU is the ability to organize course material in a logical sequence is. My only complaint is the lack of 2-way communication between the instructor and the students. I'd love to see a discussion board feature added to allow instructors to receive feedback and questions from students. That would make the iTunesU app a powerful learning tool.</p>
<p>If anyone else has/is using the iTunesU course creator, I'd be interested in hearing about your experience. This is a pretty new tool that hasn't gotten a lot of use yet, so I'm interested in hearing the thoughts/experience of others. </p> Google Chromebook - Will It Work in Educationtag:www.classroom20.com,2012-02-27:649749:Topic:8107422012-02-27T15:12:07.968ZBrad Niessenhttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/BradNiessen
Our team has been exploring many alternative devices to be used in the classroom. Besides the iPad, we have also investigated the Google Chromebook. The ultra light laptop is Google's answer to the traditional laptop, but is it right for education? Check out our Pros and Cons list at: chromebooknation.blogspot.com<br />
