Principal use of Google Docs• Create a form for teachers to sign up for extracurricular assignments
• Create a form for teachers to sign up for collaboration groups
• Create a form for teachers to indicate special skills and training for building emergency plan
• Use document to put classroom observation notes into so the notes can be shared immediately with the teacher.
Google Forms
How would you use Google Documents?
Google Documents
• Staff meeting agendas and follow up notes• Grade level or subject area team planning• Share a template for classroom observations• Weekly Announcements• Shared listing of upcoming school events• Revise long documents where each teacher edits one particular section
• Back up important documents• Save a tree and turn in an assignment using Google Docs instead of printing. Easy for the teacher to make comments - just go to Insert / Comment.
Google Forms• Principal's use forms for classroom observation with
entry from an iPod Touch.– technology inventory– feedback on mentoring and lead teacher programs– staff development surveys
• Forms for morning lunch count, students enter selections and teacher sees totals.
• Business Manager is working on one for her OSHA building walk-throughs.
• To do list: enter jobs for my assistant as I identify what needs to be done... all of the assignments are in one place.
• Collect data before a workshop:

their schedules.• You can increase coverage in the traditional
media.• You can build a sense of community.
Could blogging be dangerous?
111
Yes
• Putting something on the web never goes away.
• Do not write something STUPID!
• Future employers may read your blog.
Blogging Idea
• Purchase a professional book and give to teacher and administrator volunteers by audio file
• Encourage participants to make at least one blog entry per chapter and respond to another person’s blog entry per chapter
• Meet in person every three to five chapters to discuss in person
Would you blog?
Read Blogs
• Look for blogs written by people who share your interest
• Who do these bloggers follow?• Who comments to these blogs?• Comment to the blog yourself

What I’d Buy Instead of an Interactive Whiteboard by Bill Ferriter, The Tempered Radical
• Give me $5,000-$6,000 to spend on a middle school classroom with 25 students and I’ll buy:
– 5 Netbook Computers Cost: $1,250
• Give me one netbook for every 5 kids in my classroom and I can create instant workstations for groups.
– 5 YEARS of VoiceThread for my Students Cost: $300
• With little digital skill, kids of all ages can interact in Socratic style conversations on school related topics with one another both in and out of school.
– 5 YEARS of Brainpop Access for my Classroom Cost: $731
• Brainpop is a service that creates short (3-5 minute) animated videos on topics across the curriculum.
– 5 YEARS of Access to Poll Everywhere Cost: $645
• What makes Poll Everywhere—an online application that allows teachers to create and deliver quick surveys—unique is that students can respond to surveys via text message from their cell phones, making the need for student responders obsolete in most middle school classrooms considering the number of students carrying cell phones to school each day.
– A Mid-Range Data Projector Cost: $595
– Total = $3,521– Camtasia Screencasting Software Cost: $179
