Using Spreadsheets for ELA
Monday Google Meet starts 8/23/2021, 4:00:00 PM PST
THE ANSWER IS ALWAYS A SPREADSHEET! Let's take a look at how you can use spreadsheets with your students for English Language Arts assignments.
Google Forms: ALL quizzes in ONE Google Sheets
Why have all your Google Forms go to different spreadsheets when they can be in the SAME spreadsheet. Let me talk you into this! We will practice linking multiple Forms to ONE spreadsheet (at least for the unit) so all the student results are easy to find!
Choose your own adventure with google tools
Students create "choose your own adventure" story using google tools.

Make a Word Search
Note: Word Searches are FUN not academic. In this webinar we will practice using http://alicekeeler.com/wordsearch to design a fun word search and export it for printing.
90 Min Google Sheets: Doing More
You know spreadsheet basics. Let's do more with spreadsheets! This will be interactive.
90 Min: Create a Mad Libs Spreadsheet
Why have students all using the same nouns, verbs, numbers, and other parts of speech? Take a worksheet and upgrade it by letting students choose names, places, things, and numbers. In this workshop you will CREATE a mad libs spreadsheet. Come with a topic in mind that you want students to practice that we can turn into a more engaging fun activity... of course with Google Sheets.
Macros for Dummies
Macros for Dummies: Google Sheets allows you to code Macros to automate tasks. Have a spreadsheet with multiple tabs that you want to delete the same column from each sheet? MACRO! If you need to repeat the same task multiple times... MACRO! This will be an intro to how to make your life so much easier by automating with Macros!

Pivot Tables - Advanced
Pivot tables in Google Sheets allow you to summarize your data. In this webinar we will look at pivot tables and how to use the filters feature to get even more information out of your pivot table.
SumIf in a spreadsheet
Add things up IF.... for example ... IF a student has a score, add their score to the total points. (otherwise do not include the points possible). In this webinar we will practice some spreadsheet skills including =SUMIF

Quick Pivot Table: Google Sheets
YOU NEED THIS! If you do not know what a pivot table is let's practice one together. In this webinar we will practice together doing a basic pivot table. What does a pivot table do? It summarizes data. "How many times did Mary go to the bathroom" "What was the average score on each question?" "How many students answered C to question #7?" etc...
Google Sheets for the win! VLOOKUP lets you LOOK UP information on the spreadsheet. I use it for the level up game. If they have 30 points, look up what level they are. Let's say you have a list of student names, their email address, Parent Name, Parent phone, and Parent email. You want to create a way to type a kids name and have it also tell you the contact info. So many uses! In this webinar you will practice using vlookup formulas and it will be your newest obsession!
Use http://alicekeeler.com/discussiontab to create a spreadsheet that facilitates a discussion. It is really cool. In this webinar we will share ideas using a sample DiscussionTab and then you will make your own spreadsheet.
The spreadsheet template lets you write a list of questions and automatically adds that question to a new sheet in the spreadsheet and locks down the question so students can not accidentally delete it.
Kids love Pixel Art! You can use this for almost any class, any subject. http://alicekeeler.com/pixelart is a fun activity that uses spreadsheets. Type single digit numbers to allow students to create a picture.
Marcia Carrillo shares on how to use Alice's TemplateTab.
This is quite possibly the best thing I have ever coded. This takes a roster of your student names and duplicates a template within the same spreadsheet. In this workshop you will practice reusing a template you created from TemplateTab. How do you use it for multiple classes?

Using Google Sheets spreadsheet, take a roster of students on one page and track progress for different activities across multiple sheets. In this webinar you will take a template with a roster and add sheets for each set of projects you are tracking. Member suggested by Alice Keeler

Use conditional formatting with custom formulas- take a step beyond conditional formatting.
Google Meet starts 11/24/2020, 2:00:00 PM PST
You need conditional formatting! It allows you to set rules for highlighting cells in a Google Sheets spreadsheet. You can set it up in advance of students filling out a Google Form. After they submit the Form their answers can light up green or red (or whatever you want). Conditional Formatting is how I make http://alicekeeler.com/pixelart work. In this webinar you will practice making conditional formatting in a spreadsheet.

I would like to understand better all the things you can do with an "if" statement in Google Sheets

Pivot tables are helpful for a lot of reasons. Learn the basics and make your data meaningful.

Effectively recording and using Macros; Example uses and any shortcuts
Google Meet starts 9/9/2020, 3:00:00 PM Pacific Daylight Time
I coded http://alicekeeler.com/discussiontab to let you take a set of questions, like a twitter chat sorta, and have each student respond to the discussion. This of course uses a spreadsheet. In this workshop you will experience being on the same spreadsheet at the same time to facilitate a discussion. Then you will create your own discussion spreadsheet.
During office hours I showed how to use http://alicekeeler.com/wordsearch to create a puzzle in Google Sheets.
Word Searches are NOT learning activities or assignments... but they ARE FUN! Have fun making a Word Search :)
Using google sheets for puzzles, random story elements, self checking problems, generation story problems. I know there are other things you can do, but I don't know what to ask when I am not sure what can be done- but I bet Alice knows!
Google Meet starts 9/12/2020, 12:00:00 PM Pacific Daylight Time
How many times have you had student first and last name together and you needed them split up? Join me for some spreadsheet fun as we manipulate how to organize student names in a spreadsheet.

SAVE YOURSELF TIME with remote learning by not putting every tiny thing into the gradebook. INSTEAD create a choice board where the choice board is the ONE assignment. In this workshop (I have scheduled 2 hours just in case we need more time, we for sure need more than 60 minutes) you will use http://alicekeeler.com/badgegame to create a gamified choice board for the week for your students. It will be fun!!!
When students fill out a Form you want to sometimes merge their responses to a Google Doc. This allows you to give feedback and interact with students more effectively. Not to mention make the responses easier to read. Autocrat is an Add-on for Google Sheets that allows you to automatically create a Google Doc, that is formatted, from a Google Forms response. The doc is created on Form submit so as soon as the student submits they get their responses in a document.
TemplateTab is one of my favorite things to do with students!! I can get all students onto the same spreadsheet... then I am not opening up 30 google docs! It copies a graphic organizer per student, within the same sheet.
