PLN: Google Forms

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dFdKc09LV2RfLXlITkc1UDNTRGE5eGc6MQ
Here I have the link of my Google Form that I created. It has a few questions that pertain to us at future music educators, and I thought it would be interesting to see the ratio of instrumentalists to vocalists in the classroom, and also what level students ideally wanted to teach, because that's something we haven't really talked about a lot yet.
I think the system of using Google Documents/Forms etc is a great and efficient way to be able to gather and share information with your students and fellow teachers. I remember that on the first day of Foundations, Dr. Bond had us fill out a Google form with information about ourselves, and I'm sure that helped her to learn a little more about us. Not only that, but I think using Google forms allows the creator to keep all the information in one place, to make it easier to look at everyone's different responses. I'm excited to see how we will use Google Documents/Forms in this class as we progress with learning about other forms of technology!

  1. Yes, Katrina, I certainly have found that information useful. When you teach several hundred students in the future, think of how important information forms will be!

  2. I also agree that google forms is an efficient way to keep up with data. When I think back to my public schooling, I remember all of my teachers making their students fill out information on both index cards, and papers. If they had used google forms, it would have probably saved them a lot of storage room in their file cabinets, would have been more organized, and quicker to access all types of information by easily going online.

  3. Nice forum idea. Did anyone fill it out? I would be interested to see what research you can gather! Let me know.
