Google Forms is a simple and free way to collect, save and analyze student data. Use it to create class surveys, short quizzes, student inventories and much more. Use the information you collected to help you gauge your students’ understanding, class engagement and anything else you like.

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to create Google Forms, how to make forms that are easily understandable, how to ask good questions and offer good answer choices. We’ll complete our overview of the tool by learning how to distribute surveys and collect answers.

Please note: to get the most out of this workshops, participants are strongly advised to bring their own laptop, tablet, or smartphone.

Under strict time limitations, students design and build 120-pound robots that compete on a playing field to complete tasks. Students program and test their machines using skills in engineering, coding, and design. Teams also develop business and marketing plans, as well as outreach initiatives to fundraise and engage their local community.

Do you have a writing project you need to finish but are struggling to make it happen? A thesis? A grant? A book chapter? Taking a passive approach won’t work; you need a plan. In this two-part series, we will work through some concrete strategies you can use to take control of your writing project, and get it done. As William Faulkner said, “Don’t be ‘a writer’. Be writing”!
