How to… NUTS and BOLTS!

Step one: Determine your questions Keep it simple Use resources on the internet for ideas Use domains for guidance Tailor it to you/your school’s needs Don’t forget the demographics (name, homeroom)

Step two: Prepare Arrange a time with teachers (approximately 1-2 minutes per students) Get a copy of the class list Find a place outside each room Decide if you will use paper/pencil (no-tech) or Google Forms

No-tech option Create a system that works for you: grid with code, etc.

Here’s the Tech Twist… Time for Google Forms Demo! Google Forms Demo
