There are so many cool digital tool that really support students engagement but Google Forms does that and it supports teachers making our job a tiny bit easier which is AMAZING !! I tell everyone about them and how awesome they are all the time. I used Google Forms to gather data for "The Paper" and I was able to get all my charts and graphs from the results. I am planning on using surveys for my capstone and so will again use forms just in a Julie is evolving manner. I am really being more thoughtful about what I am measuring and what data I am trying to really collect. I now think about things like the Bloom's and SAMR models. There is just so much to learn about all the different things Google Forms can do and then there are the Add-ons. Truly amazing the few I have explored so far are Flubaroo, Doctopus, formMule, and EquatIO. FormMule is cool I have added it on to the spread sheet I am using for presenters who have signed up to participate in the Makers Faire and I think I am cool they all now get a kind response from me when they sign up. I am also using formMule to respond to my students grade reflection form I made.
I was pretty darn frustrated most of Sunday spent hours trying to figure out equatIO since g(Math) is gone. So one down side to all this technology is it moves fast and is tough to keep up for us as learners and our teachers. So eqautIo is not an add-on it is an extension so I did get it I am just not sure how to use it in a form. I sent a message to their help desk and have watched videos. I signed up for the free teacher version and am still not sure it will work with forms at this point I need a more user friendly math solution. I have realized there is a lot to learn so Rafa and I signed up to attend the Alice Keeler training that is coming up in Stockton that Scott mentioned. I am excited to learn from an expert. Then Rafa and I are also signing up to go to Sacramento to another Alice Keeler workshop on math I obviously really need that one. I am also very excited to be moving to Google Classroom I think it is going to be so much easier to use all Google. I have no doubt this is worth learning and even keeping up with all the updated because my students are really responding well to all things google. They loved the peardeck I created for them, the like to quick quizzes, and are even giving me really thoughtful paragraph responses. This is so important and needs to become a larger part of our PLC work as well.

It sounds like you're using a lot of cool add-ons in your practice! I'm especially interested in equatIO. Math symbols are tricky on a keyboard. I might be teaching an older grade next year and will definitely be looking more into online math resources.

That is really cool you guys are going to Stockton! You'll have to share what you guys learned! I am too excited that we will be moving to google classroom. It will be great to see how all the tools we use work together. We got a glimpse of that at the InnovatED conference.
