Welcome

Hello, welcome to my newly created blogger page. This page is appropriately named thanks to it being a part of my final course towards my Masters of Art in Teaching. So if you are reading this then you get to witness my "Gateway to Freedom".

Google Forms

I created an introductory activity to be used at the beginning of the year to get to know my students and gather the contact information I may need during the course of the school year. This would allow me to access the information at anytime and/or update it without keeping a file of index cards on my desk (ISTE, V-C). It would also give me access to the information at home since the form is published on the web and the results are placed in a spreadsheet that I can view from any computer by accessing the file in google docs. I can view the form in a summary context or the actual answers placed in a spreadsheet (ISTE, V-D). This allows me to sort the information which ever way the context of the answer allows. In other words, text can be alphabetized and numbers can be analyzed (ISTE, IV-B) for statistical purposes (although this is not my intention for the form I created). I have a google docs place created and I access the form through this site. However you may be able create it and then e-mail it to yourself so I am not sure if google docs is required or just easier. I also placed the survey below. I had to change the code in order to fit the image into my post (one of the problems I encountered on the Jing assignment) and not have it cover the entire screen.
