Have you tried Google Moderator?

It's easy and it's amazing!  We recently used Google Moderator with over 100 high school students so they could submit questions they wanted to ask the superintendent - but they also were then able to vote for or against other questions as well as respond to each other's ideas.
Google Moderator is being used in the Jeffco Budget process, professional development planning, naming the new Jeffco wifi network.  It has also been used by the White House and Fox News.
Take a look at this video for a quick overview of how one teacher has used it in the classroom.

Google Forms for Administrative Walk-Through Observations - Part II

About a month ago, we shared a post about using Google Forms for Principal Observations, but we have updated information and resources for you.

1st - A presentation we just used in a training for about 60 administrators in Jeffco on how to access the template and build their own form for this process. 

Open the presentation full screen

2nd - Included in the presentation is this video of the principal at Carmody using the form on his iPad. 

3rd - These step by step directions on how to access the templates (one from Carmody, one from O'Connell, and one from Falcon Bluffs) and edit it for their own needs. (linked near the end of the presentation)
