I linked to a search below of all of the Cohort 21 action plans that surface the two words.

Bring your students into this conversation.

I can certainly understand this sentiment! Forms are great, as long as you remember to check whether there is new data in the spreadsheets! 🙂

That said, there are a couple of tools in Forms/Sheets that could be useful to you if you’re not already aware of them. When you go to create the spreadsheet to view the responses to your…Read more

This is a great summative post of your C21 experience! I love seeing others discovering the power of Google Forms, DocAppender, and Sheets! 🙂 Have you thought about extending your learning and doing the Google Certified Educator training and exams??

Cohort 21 + FDS + York PD + ISOMA = amazing growth. Your network has also grown as well.

Your action plan appears to be taking on many similar characteristics to my own! It can be so overwhelming to try to plan a personalized learning unit for a large group of students, but one thing that I’ve learned through the process is to be flexible and be okay with things not going right!

Many of the practical items you’ve…Read more

I had a feeling that you and @lmiller might find some similarities between the day today and your work with Future Design School. I’m glad that today yielded new results.
