I created 3 Google Forms to use in my research on Goal Setting.
First, I created a form for students to give me feedback on my paper and pencil goal setting procedures. Form 1 Next, I created a form for students to give me feedback on my newly implemented goal setting using Seesaw and Google. Form 2 Finally, I created a form for parents to give me feedback on goal setting and student agency. Form 3
All of these forms are in survey format, however Google Forms can be used to create quizzes for students and to assess them for various types of learning. Images can also be added in to Google Forms, and there are many Add On tools I have yet to explore. See my blog post on Google Forms for more info.!
#CAedchat/ How to Participate in a Twitter Chat
This Sunday evening I participated in my first Twitter Chat. #CAedchat This chat occurs every Sunday at 8PM PST. Before the experience I had tons of questions, so while participating, I learned a lot. Here are some tips for you if you are thinking of joining in on an Edchat, or any other type of chat on Twitter. 1) There is a host- this chat was hosted by another teacher in California. 2) There is a topic for the evening- the info. for this particular chat can be found on @CAedchat's feed 3) There are moderators for the chat- they interact with participant's posts, and help guide the conversation by adding in thoughts, graphics, and their own ideas. 4) The questions are pre-posted- I accessed them via a google doc tweeted out by @caedchat, it was nice to have most of my answers pre-thought out. I even pre-typed some before the next question was tweeted out so that I was ready to post and didn't have to spend minutes typing. 5) There is a format for asking and answering- The host will post the first question with Q1: and your answers should be labeled A1: (and subsequently A2: A3: etc.) and followed with the appropriate hashtag, in this case #caedchat. This way participants can see your response and know to which question you were responding. 6) The chat lasts about 1 hour- The host and moderator spent about 8-10 minutes on each question. Posting it, sharing out their own responses and ideas, responding to and interacting with the participant's posts. 7) The value is in the interaction- I could have followed along by just following the hashtag and watching the chat unfold, but interacting with others, asking questions, and exploring the hashtags and companies tagged by others was where I found the most value in the experience.
