Google Forms - new version, and classroom use ideas from Matt's blog

I've used google forms for sending surveys to staff before. I've NEVER thought about how cool it would be to use for students and collecting answers on quizzes or analyzing the answer responses they submit. I probably would use this more if I was teaching in the upper grades... Any ideas for K-2 ESL uses??

Award-winning blog! Very informative about instructional technology especially for K-12 teachers.

A productivity suite for K-12 teachers with an online private community to share resources, hold discussions, and work together, all in a secure manner.

I think this Blog is rich with possibility for utilizing social media for the teaching of a second language. Students so much into social media and they also get motivated by change in ideas and activities. The variety of possibilities that this blog offers provides a teacher with a good resource that would work for various language levels.

A veritable goldmine of rubrics!

"CourseSites is an online platform that enables faculty members in K-12 and higher education to set up Web-based class sites where they can post course materials, communicate with students, encourage collaboration, monitor performance, and manage grades."

This paper profiles 40 organizations that are blending online learning with brick-and-mortar classrooms. These represent a range of operators, including state virtual schools, charter management organizations, individual charter schools, independent schools, districts, and private entities. The organizations profiled in this paper are not a "top 40" list. Thousands of other schools are currently participating in blended learning and may have superior programs.

ePals is the social network optimized for K-12 learning. Over half a million classrooms in 200 countries and territories have joined the ePals Global Community to connect, collaborate and exchange ideas. ePals now translates in 35 languages!

I found this while sorting through my old bookmarks to add them to diigo. Anyone ever used this or heard of it?

I want to say that they have been around in a number of forms over many years - maybe even started at St Olaf College as Classroom to Classroom Connections back in the 90's?? But they've grown into a huge corporation now! These kinds of projects are the ones I like the best - when you get kids talking to each other!

I really like this concept!! Unfortunately we are not allowed to use flip-grid:(

Is it not available because of access (too much? you can set up so only students with your district's email can respond), or is it because of the possibility of kids using other kid's videos and images?

We should think about a few of these for the CARLA Tech SI (F2F). Some of them seem overlapping, but on the other hand, they give teachers more tools to choose from.

It looks very straightforward, and it's nice to have more tools... except for when it seems overwhelming. I think the only thing that makes it easier is to be able to eliminate tools due to cost or formatting that seems unsafe for K-12.
