We are holding our annual Parent/Teacher conferences this week. This year we have moved them up a month. They have traditionally been held the week of Thanksgiving. By moving them up, we are able to meet with parents earlier and help deal with any issues or concerns at an earlier date.
Sample form...
DocAppender is a Google Forms add on, or extension, that allows for the collection of information via a web form and then appending that information to an existing Google document. It was created by Andrew Stillman and the great folks at New Visions Cloud Lab.
The DocAppender web page outlines many possible uses, including using the form to add to a running record of classroom visitations. One way I would like to see teachers and students utilize it as a way to capture their weekly and daily journal entries using their Chromebooks. A nice way to capture all of their entries in one document.
At Lewis we have several teachers utilizing Twitter as a way to share the work of their students. Below are three recent examples.
