Check out my blog about reshaping the learning environment here.

The very first time I meet parents, I hand out a flyer with instructions for them to take my "Get To Know You" survey. I put a short URL and also a QR code with some easy instructions on a half page colorful flyer and hand it out to parents during the meet and greet, or as homework for the kids on the first day. I ask the parents to tell me about their child, the child's interests, goals, etc. I also ask the parents for their names as well as the best phone numbers and email addresses for each parent. This is where doing this on a Google Form is so much better than paper. I can copy and paste the column of email addresses right into a Google Contacts list and I've got my email list for the year. No more deciphering parent handwriting on a written form or hunting through my school's student information system trying to find emails for each parent. Here is a sample form. You can click here to make a copy of it for yourself.

Yes - another blog post! Click here to see it. This one is all about how I use Google Forms for student anecdotal notes. This makes things so easy! There is of course a sample form for you to take a look at and even copy if you'd like to use it.
