Google Forms Awesomeness
Tony Vincent
Google Forms is awesome, but you already knew that. It’s great how responses feed directly into a spreadsheet for easy access and analysis. You can create assessments, surveys, checkout forms, and quizzes for students. You can also poll colleagues, collect information from parents, and keep logs. If you dig into the settings, you can do even more! Let’s take a look at things like limiting response length, pre-filling responses, tweaking confirmation messages, locking a form with a passcode, and authoring interactive stories. Let’s also explore ways to use the data collected in a form to make word clouds, name pickers, and maps.

Choosing Choice: Implementing Choice in the Classroom to Accommodate Post-Pandemic Learners
Lauren Gehr
By providing students with choice in their learning, teachers can encourage students to become more confident and empowered learners. Empowering students is crucial for post-pandemic instruction. Student choice can also teach students to become independent learners and thinkers. The issue that many teachers have with student choice is how to get started. It can seem like a daunting task to give students choice. This session will provide teachers with easy ways to implement student choice into their pedagogy and practice. Teachers will leave the session with assessments and strategies that will empower students in their learning by simply providing choice.
