Welcome!

Greetings, SMBSD Friends!

Welcome to "All Tech-gether Now," a place for you to visit and chat about technology as it relates to teaching and learning in your classrooms. Our goal is to post a techie tidbit each week. Please let us know whether you find this space useful, and feel free to piggyback on our posts with your own technology experiences. The more we share, the more we learn; so newbies and experts alike, ask about--or tell us how--your SMARTboards, iPads, Chromebooks, PCs, laptops, smart phones (and any other fabulous technology you have) are transforming your classrooms!

We encourage you to add comments and questions to the posts you find interesting.

Using Google Docs for Quick Answers

Are you a stick chooser?  Do you always call on the student who will give you the right answer?? Are you tired of correcting boring paper tests? Change it up a bit and make a quick assessment!

Students need immediate feedback and these quick answer docs are easy for the students and teacher.   Make a Google Doc that includes a 1x36 table, (or however many students you have in your class). Number each box 1-36.  Most classes assign students to numbers already or you will have to assign each student a number.  I number them according to their Chromebook number.  Make sure to save a template and make a copy of your template and rename every time you want to assign this type of assignment. Allow students to ONLY answer in their numbered space.  You can choose to print and use as an assessment or you can choose to show on a projector so students can see how others answered the same question.  Teacher's choice on whether you want them to add their name or not.  When I am printing for an assessment, I have them include their name.  I am the only one who sees it.  When I am showing on the projector, I usually do not have them include their name. See examples below.
