Thoughts collected during my attempts to branch out and try technologies and strategies that should help my students make global learning connections.

Google Forms and Spreadsheets

**Anyone who has seen the American Pie movies will get this next line**. So this one time at PBWorks Summer Camp, a presenter during one of our weekly webinars mentioned using a Google form for students to complete vocabulary practice activities. The simplicity of it is beautiful--the form gives the students a template to use, then their answers appear in a google spreadsheet that the teacher can use to check that the students have completed the assignment. Up to this point, I have mainly used google forms for surveys and sign up sheets. I am eager to try this use of google forms when I return to school in August. I will probably use it as a learning checkup to see if students have met the lesson's objectives.

**In the American Pie movies there is one character (a band geek) who attempts to relate everything to band camp. She begins a lot of her lines, "So this one time, at band camp...".
