I am still vacationing, but I thought I would take time out from the beautiful Jersey shore to blog. Actually, I got a little burned at the beach and must take a day off out of the sun. In any case, I thought I would share my favorite management item for the beginning of the year with you all.
In Google Docs, you can create a form that enables parents to type in their information and answer questions that you create. You can have the answers turned into a spreadsheet as they are entered. Here is a copy of my form that you can edit to meet your needs:
Ms. Sanders Parent Contact Form
You must click on "File" and "Make a Copy" before it will allow you to edit the document.
I have parents fill it out at home, or in my classroom at Open House. This is what it looks like on my website:
I have mine embedded on my wikispaces class website. You can visit my class website here: http://arodriguez.cmswiki.wikispaces.net/
You can start with this form and edit it, or you can create a new one.
Here are instructions provided by Google on creating a form: https://support.google.com/drive/answer/87809?hl=en
Google has a video you can watch on that site as well about how to create a form. Once you have created your form, under "Form" you can click "Go to Live Form" or "Embed in a Webpage".
I hope this helps you have a great start!
Anna
