Techno Savvy

What a week!  Once again my head is full of ideals and more on the "to do" list!  Let me think this all out....


3-2-1


Three things I will take away from the last two days:

1. How to create a google form as a multiple choice formal or informal assessment and then use a script "Flubaroo" function to score this assessment and send scores to students.  The key is to include only multiple choice questions, a spot for students to include their email, an entry as "teacher" which will be used as the "Key" and to turn off the "autocomplete".  Finally, I love that the spreadsheet will highlight the questions that average under 70% correct to alert the teacher that more review is necessary!  Love it!

2. Seeing the teachers all together and excited about what they were hearing and doing!  I loved watching Amber and Kolleen go outside and take a very creative and artfully balanced picture for our staff and school intro.  (I need to see if we were ever able to get it up!?!?)
3. More time to sit down and collaborate with my colleagues--although still not enough.

Two things I still need more information on:

1. How the new iSO5 is going to change things and how that in turn affects our syncing/roll out process?
2. Exactly how dropbox works and with what types of files...google apps is looking better and better every day...but why aren't things more compatible...Apple seems so much more advanced and with it!

One thing I wish we still had more of:

1. TIME to COLLABORATE
