What Does this Mean for Us Today?

Activity One: Hop on a Doc!

Think about what ways you can create and share documents as an administrator at your school.
Check your Docs Homepage-- you should see that Wendy's shared this Doc with you; come on in and let us know how you will!
Find someone else's response and "Insert-Comment" to start a Discussion!
Later, create your own Doc (Create-New Document) and then Share it with those you want to collaborate on it.

Activity Two: Let's Make a Form

Take a moment and discuss with the person next to you what kind of FORM you could easily use at your school site-- next week even. Share out with the group!
Classroom Observation Walkthroughs
Make the Form: (Create-New Form and Add Questions) and Pick a Theme
Distribute the Form: Once it's ready, e-mail the Live Form and e-mail it out to me, your friends, Twitter, and we can test it out for you. (wendygorton@gmail.com)
Analyze the Form: Go back to your Google Docs and you'll see the spreadsheet with information from the filled out form.
