Please don't forget to add your name! en-us 2020-07-30 18:00:37 UTC 2025-11-19 20:52:47 UTC hello@padlet.com Names/E-mail Addresses https://padlet.com/jmacneille/twjzky3dv6smyzqt/wish/666157846 Twice this spring, I forgot to provide any identifying info on my Google Forms. You can have a question stating "What's your name?" and/or use the option in Settings that says "Collect e-mail addresses."]]> 2020-07-30 21:05:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jmacneille/twjzky3dv6smyzqt/wish/666157846 K.I.S.S. kdavis88 https://padlet.com/jmacneille/twjzky3dv6smyzqt/wish/674897102 Don't feel like you have to master/include all the bells and whistles at once--be wary of information overload. For example--I love this guy's videos, but this page was overwhelming for ME to sift through as an opening organizer...imagine being a young boy.]]> 2020-08-10 21:56:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jmacneille/twjzky3dv6smyzqt/wish/674897102 Avoid too many STREAM posts cmilligan10 https://padlet.com/jmacneille/twjzky3dv6smyzqt/wish/675197932 Preventing classwork posts in the stream as well as student comments is key to cutting back on overload there (and with notifications in email inboxes).]]> 2020-08-11 03:52:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jmacneille/twjzky3dv6smyzqt/wish/675197932 I haven't used GC with actual boys yet so i am nervous about what I don't know that i don't know and that's A LOT! vgilbert4 https://padlet.com/jmacneille/twjzky3dv6smyzqt/wish/676462002 2020-08-11 23:51:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jmacneille/twjzky3dv6smyzqt/wish/676462002 Long answers in Google Forms https://padlet.com/jmacneille/twjzky3dv6smyzqt/wish/677274600 Personally I find it limiting trying to type anything more than a couple sentences, or anything that requires formatting, into a google form. I'd rather use other platforms for open-ended questions that require longer answers. ]]> 2020-08-12 15:25:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jmacneille/twjzky3dv6smyzqt/wish/677274600 Posting Assignments from the Stream jmacneille https://padlet.com/jmacneille/twjzky3dv6smyzqt/wish/678557233 When I first started using Google Classroom, I tried posting assignments from the Stream and I was unable to "Make a Copy" of a file for each student. This can only be done from the classwork tab. ]]> 2020-08-13 12:32:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jmacneille/twjzky3dv6smyzqt/wish/678557233
