Excited about Forms, Maps and Sheets

Yep, excited.

Forms are Fun

There are so many ways to use forms.  I have practised with a quiz and have learnt how to use response validation so that people taking the survey must answer with a certain number of responses.


Try out my quiz here.

Drive, Chrome, Extensions and more

Drive and Chrome

We have learnt the basics of Drive and Chrome. Great to see someone else presenting on this and what they do and use.

Chrome Extensions

Adding and managing and removing extensions. Some extensions that I hadn't used before.

Learners new to schools

What do schools do to transition learners into a new school?

I am wanting to find out what intermediate and secondary schools are doing, how we might share good practices and how we might help one another improve these practices.

Please help me out by telling me what you do in your school using the form below.

Learning Stations in Secondary Schools

Okay, I thought learning stations was such a 'primary' idea that it could never work with older learners.

Turns out I was way wrong...

Progress on Transitioning Learners

I am slowly distilling my aims for my Google Education Innovation project. This is taking me a long time as I seem to be stuck on Learn, Create, Share and Cybersmart learning. A great pedagogy and curriculum respectively, however, I think they are only a part of what I need to think about rather than the whole. 

I want to see learners transition well from primary to secondary school and to help schools, teachers and learners to do this. 

In the year I am formally focussing on this project, what can I expect to achieve? 

As, Lenva, my patient and thoughtful mentor said:

"You may not do anything new in one year but you could open the door to new ideas"

Feedback

Managing feedback - both giving and receiving is not an easy task. I have been set a reflection exercise for my #GoogleEI project. A timely reminder for me to think about this aspect of collaboration.
