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.

What would happen if the autism gene was eliminated from the gene pool? You would have a bunch of people standing around in a cave, chatting and socializing and not getting anything done! When it comes to solving problems, the skill sets people bring to the table are rooted in three different forms of cognition: photo realistic or visual thinking, pattern mathematical, and word verbal thinking. When projects are being designed, people with different ways of thinking have complementary skills.

Drawing on her own extraordinary life experiences, Dr. Grandin will discuss the challenges and opportunities for people like herself on the autism spectrum who think in pictures, championing the cause of neurodiversity: that the world needs all kinds of minds!

The Breadth of Distance
Amber Williams-King, Charlene Vickers, Chun Hua Catherine Dong, Melisse Watson, Petrina Ng, Soko Fong Negash, Shellie Zhang
Curated by: Alize Zorlutuna
Dates: February 4, 2019 - April 5, 2019

we carry continents,
cross oceans,
traverse vast distances while still.

the scent of comfort,
is also longing.
what goes unsaid,
a kind of knowing.

how do elsewheres live in the body?

in dreams?
half-remembered tongues.
in what cannot be named.

Bringing together photography, video, installation, and sculpture, these artworks shift across geographies, cultural perspectives, and time. Considering grief, longing, care and resilience, they articulate how relationships to place, representation, and belief shape who we are and how we move in the present.

This exhibition asks us to reckon with how we came to be here on this land. Whether we are Indigenous, multi-generational settlers, or recent immigrants, our current moment demands we think through how we might build mutual understanding and empathy while recognizing our many differences.
