5 Time-Saving Ways Teachers Can Use Google Forms

5 Time-Saving Ways Teachers Can Use Google Forms
One of my favorite features of Google Drive is Google Forms. If you’re unfamiliar with this, think of it as a way to create quick surveys that can be used for a number of applications. Google automatically aggregates this data into a Google Spreadsheet, making forms a great way to quickly collect and share information. Collect Contact Information At the beginning of the year, I find that a great ice-breaker with my students is to share a Google Form that asks their name, contact information, and something unique and interesting about themselves. Similarly, it is often necessary to collect information from parents for special events. Bell Ringer & Exit Ticket Activities Google Forms are a great medium to engage students in bell ringer and exit ticket activities (a means to gauge what a student has learned at the end of a lesson). Collect Homework Collecting homework is often an onerous task. Survey & Check-In with Students Creating Rubrics Related:  MAITRISER LA SUITE BUREAUTIQUE GOOGLEGoogle

Google Documents : 10 astuces pour le traitement de texte Google documents est un traitement de texte intégré dans l’environnement de Google Drive.

Vous trouverez cette option en vous rendant dans le Menu Outils puis dans les Préférences. Idéal aussi pour les caractères spéciaux dont la saisie n’est pas toujours évidente à mémoriser.

Besides being able to create documents, slides, drawings and spreadsheets , users can also upload their own PDFs and files and sync them with their Google Drive accounts across different devices.

This is probably what distinguished this service from other powerful tools like Dropbox and Evernote. With Google Drive installed on your computer or tablet, you can access your downloaded docs and work on them the way you want and once connected to internet you can then sync them to the cloud. Needless to mention the recent upgrade Google releases and which increased the free storage capacity to 15 GB .

Vivir a través de la cámara del móvil 27 FlaresTwitter15Facebook9Google+3LinkedIn0Email--27 Flares× Las tecnologías impiden ver la realidad. Las tecnologías permiten, de forma individual, tomar una visión de la realidad actual para transformarla en un conjunto de ceros y unos que nuestro móvil se encarga de gestionar. Realidad tecnológica. Un par de días atrás. Los móviles son parches a la realidad. Pasan los años y los recuerdos digitales tan sólo serán unas imágenes o vídeos neutros que demostrarán que uno estuvo en un lugar que, aunque no estuviera, hubiera disfrutado igual. Potenciar el compartir es sano. No hay realidades en formato digital. Por muy buena calidad que tenga un móvil el momento es demasiado importante para perderlo observando una pantalla de cristal líquido.

Google Forms in Education | Edcentric Google Forms in Education Though Google Docs has permeated through education over the last five years, Google Forms is still relatively new to most educators.

4 Important Google Docs' Features for Student Researchers October 14, 2014 Google Drive is absolutely one of the best cloud tools out there. Its potential for education is evidently huge and that is why I have been writing a lot on it. 1-Research The research tool allows you to do research simultaneously as you are writing or editing your document. To access the research tab click on "tools" and select "research" The great thing about this Research tool is that it allows you to easily insert citations and links to your document. The same applies for citations, click on “cite” and Google Doc automatically inserts the citation according to the style you want ( MLA or APA, or Chicago). 2- Spelling Google Doc has an integrated spelling checker that automatically underlines any misspelled word. And if you find yourself repeating the same spelling error over and over, I would suggest that you add it to your personal Dictionary as shown below and from time to time try to have a look at those terms you added there and see if you can remember its spelling.

Más allá del uso de LMS 16 FlaresTwitter9Facebook4Google+2LinkedIn1Email--16 Flares× Para quien aún no lo sepa, un LMS no es nada más una aplicación instalada en un servidor, que administra, distribuye y controla las actividades de formación de una institución u organización. En el ámbito educativo estamos acostumbrados a lidiar con ese tipo de aplicaciones: Moodle, Edmodo, Schoology, RedAlumnos, etc. Debo reconocer que las facilidades que se ofrecen para el docente de la mayoría de estos servicios y la comodidad que supone el poder automatizar y controlar lo que está sucediendo en el aula no son nada despreciables. Que sí, que el uso de LMS es la opción lógica para aquellos docentes que, como yo, queríamos ir avanzando en la digitalización de nuestras aulas. En lo anterior es donde me ha surgido el problema. Fuente: Pues bien, este curso que viene voy a abandonar el uso de LMS. Lo lógico es abandonar los LMS. Más allá del uso de LMS creo que hay vida.
