_Making the Most of
Google Forms
Quachita Room
1:30 - 4:00
Update!
This is preliminary file, but works as far as I can tell.  Click here for a classroom walkthrough file that will email your teachers once you have completed their walkthrough.  I don't have instructions on how to fix it for you, but hopefully you can follow the same instructions as you had on the discipline form and figure out how to adjust this one until I can get the instructions there.

_Easy does really describe this session! Come see our step-by-step process of using Google Forms (sub-set of Google Docs) with scripting to have our teachers enter discipline referrals, our administration document discipline results, the amazing amounts of data that are then available and ready to present at all times in chart format.  Participants will walk through the entire process so that they take away a system ready to implement the next day.  We will also brainstorm a variety of google form uses for administrative tasks.  Even if discipline is not your responsibility, this session will generate ideas and possibilities of how to implement the procedure for a variety of other tasks. So, whether you are just beginning your career as an administrator, a seasoned veteran, a classroom teacher, or other educational professional, this session is a MUST!
