This is such a wonderful question from one of the teachers in DPS doing some great Blended Learning work. Any thoughts on an answer from fellow practitioners (or anyone else)?

Was able to grab my iPad and make a Google sheet on the fly so I could take notes as I conferenced with kids during independent reading yesterday. The new Drive for iPad was much easier to navigate and now I have a quick way to sit next to kids wherever they are to set a goal and note something they did well during our reading together. I’ll be able to share this data with students for their own goal setting as well.
What are some quick, meaningful ways you collect data that gets the most bang for your buck? Are there things you do that can really help students with their learning even in classrooms where student tech is limited?
– Turns a Google Form into a smart auto-foldering and ‘dropbox’ tool to allow users to submit any Drive-hosted resource along with additional data.
– Great for auto-organizing and managing ownership of student or teacher artifact submissions. Can function like a dropbox, allowing users to add or copy Drive resources via form to folders they otherwise cannot access.
– Ideal for large collaboration groups looking to crowdsource, organize and tag Drive resources in specific ways without giving everyone edit privileges on the folder structure.
– For secure Google Forms on a Google Apps domain, allows Drive resources to be submitted to individual “User Folders” based on the auto-collected username.
– Allows the choices in one or more of your multiple-choice, list, or checkbox questions to correspond to destination Folders in Drive.
Uses a text type question in your form to collect the Drive resource URL (Documents, Sheets, Presentations, Drawings, Folders–yes whole Folders (up to 2 levels deep), Images, heck, even unconverted Office files) from users.
– Upon form submission, adds or copies (see modes below) the submitted Drive resource into the corresponding folders in your Drive.
– Requires you to collect the form submitter’s Google email address via secure (domain) form or via a text question in your form. The script detects whether sharing permissions are appropriate and emails the user with steps and easy links to fix.
– Can be run in “original” or “copy” mode.
–Original mode adds the Drive resources to the designated folder(s) and preserves their original ownership.
— Copy mode makes a copy of the Drive resource, renames it according to a convention of your choice, optionally shares in the submitter as viewer, editor, or commenter, and moves it to the designated folders.
-When set to create “User Folders” on a secure, domain Google Form…
Can auto-create folders for new users upon form submission
Allows for user folder to be restricted, or shared with either view or edit privileges
The new version of the google drive iOS app is beautiful and the new copy link feature is essential. iPad owners are that much closer to having all the features of their desktop counterparts.
