Kimberly Guerrazzi: @https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dFlJVjRkanl2T0xBTE44Ym1DWVlfQVE6MQ I plan to use this Google Doc survey in EDU 590: Advanced Technology in Education as a pre-assessment for my students and an introduction to Google Docs. The survey questions will help determine my students' comfort level with using technology and what types of technology they have experience in using. Additionally, it will help me gain information on what grade levels and content areas that each student is concentrating on integrating technology.

Simon Nortman: https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?hl=en_US&formkey=dENHNzN3UFk4bk1pdEYxR2FMWXpOVFE6MQ#gid=0 I plan to use this form as a brief assessment at the end of a semester for my 4th and 5th graders. They should be able to tell me the techniques and mediums that they used, while also providing me with information that I can use to implement new projects that are catered to student goals and interests.

This Google Doc will be a great asset to add to my Readers’ Workshop Book Club unit of study. This past year, I used flip cameras to record the book clubs to hold students accountable, play back to the class to find important “noticings,” and for student assessment. Book clubs were also required to complete a one page reflection together after each book club session. This Google Doc will replace the one page reflection, as students will complete the form on student laptops as a group. I believe students would benefit from this online form reflection rather than a paper document because they would have an opportunity to use a piece of technology to express their thoughts, rate their participation, and comment on the progress of their book club.

This survey will be given to upper elementary art students at the beginning of the school year. I will arrange for my students to complete the survey in the computer lab. The results of this survey will help me make learning objectives that build on student interest, strengths, and cultural backgrounds. We will go over the results together. I am excited about helping my students know how important their ideas are.

Amanda Emeott I plan to use this as a pre-assessment during the first week of school to discuss classroom expectations and find out where my students are.

I created a form with questions to review comprehension of Chapter 1 for my 4th grade computer class. This information is mostly a review of topics covered in 3rd grade. Based on the results of these questions I will be able to determine what information needs more review. []

Jaclyn Hirschfield The google doc I created is to be used with reader's workshop. The students can complete the form after they finish reading a fiction book. The form is pretty simple and geared toward 3rd or 4th graders, but can be adapted to other grade levels, as well.

The Geometry Pre-Assessment form that I created can be used in my sixth grade mathematics classroom before we start the Connected Mathematics Shapes and Designs Unit. This year when I implemented this Connected Math unit, it was a pilot unit to see if the district was going to purchase the program to begin implementing in the Fall of 2011. This inquiry-based unit was new to me and I did little formal pre-assessing of my students' previous knowledge. However, I feel with this pre-assessment, I can use it in the future to get a good idea of the topics that I need to focus on and the previous knowledge that the students are bring to the unit. I would reserve a computer lab or check out the laptops for the students to complete the assignment in school as I know a significant number of students in my classes do not have reliable internet access out of school. Upon the completion of the pre-assessment, I would review the results in Google Docs and be able to address the areas that I need to focus on, in more depth, during the unit and have a basis for my unit planning. I used questions in my pre-assessment that came straight from the objectives in the Shapes and Designs unit to determine the students previous knowledge and to see how I can differentiate my instruction based on my students needs.

Not only does this Google form allow me to collect information in a quick and meaningful way, but it allows me to incorporate writing in the mathematics classroom. Also, it will be more engaging for the students that filling out a paper and pencil survey where I have to hand tally the results. This will be an efficient way for both the students and the teacher to determine prior knowledge.
