Aspirations

I am thinking about using several of these tools in different ways
Spreadsheets -- data collection for participation grades for each of my classes
Spreadsheets for assessment of student projects.  I would like to add a component of this with my 4th graders and book trailer projects, where the kids do peer assessment.
Forms -- checklist (where students record where they are in a project eg have photos, have storyboard, missing music,)
Forms -- data collection with robotics  Possible example -- students record their kicker data along the way and students make predictions about what robot will be the most successful based on the data.
Spreadsheets and data collection for flexible groupings and reteach.  Seeing the way to add conditional formatting and the color coding gave me ideas about how to make managing the volume of data needed to make flexible grouping decisions in real time feasible.

Slides -- I am thinking about using slides for collaborative ebook creation.  This could really support Red Clover book response with the younger grades.  I have some management to think about (we don't create google accounts for kids under 2nd grade, but Amy gave me a good idea about using a generic user for that kind of work and creating folders for each of the students).  Harvey Rabbit rides again!
