Librarian "Tech Diva" Tech Tips: Collecting Online Projects

Collecting Online Projects

Use Google Drive to create a form that will make short work of collecting and grading online projects. Then, you can link this form to your course web site, so students can access it from any- and everywhere. My ITS, Brandie Cain-Heard, calls this the Assignment Tracker.

Here are the steps again:

Use a Google Form to create an "In Box" for all of your student's work.
Post the link to the form on your TeacherWeb page.
Students submit the form to turn in assignments.
Results automatically appear in a spreadsheet.

Create the form one time and use it all year.

Notes From the Field: Waltz Across Texas, First Dance

Originally published August 1, 2024 Library Developments Blog | Library Development and Networking Division Texas State Library and Archives Commission In July, I kicked off the first in a series of day-long turns around clusters of small public libraries to tour their spaces and chat about how the Texas State Library and Archives Commission (TSLAC) can best support their leadership. This round, the fancy feet of Continuing Education and Consulting Team Manager Katherine Adelberg accompanied me as we spun through New Braunfels Public Library, Seguin Public Library, and Martindale Community Library. New Braunfels Public Library New Braunfels is perched on the brink of the Hill Country, right between San Antonio and Austin on I-35. Spanning Comal and Guadalupe counties with its 105,000 residents, it’s not only one of the fastest-growing cities, but is also regarded as one of the best 50 places to live in the United States. Established in 1845, New Braunfels is known for its German...

Growing Library Leaders With Google Education Trainer Certification

At the Texas Association of School Library Administrators (TASLA) Workshop on June 14, 2016, I was part of a five-part panel presentation that focused on how campus librarians can become library leaders even though they are not library administrators. This presentation was later featured on TASL Talk s as a series titled “Growing Library Leaders.” Become a Certified Google Education Trainer grew out of my portion of the presentation and was originally published September 8, 2016. On April 10, 2018, it was re-posted on the Round Rock Independent School District's Teaching & Learning Blog Librarians have always been at the forefront of information technology, even if we haven’t always had that reputation. Be it in tablets, scrolls, codices, microforms, or databases, we’ve always gone where the information is in order to find answers. Unfortunately, as mere access to information has taken center stage, school libraries run the risk of becoming a Starbucks-without-the-cof...

Sheila Rae, The Brave

Image from kevinhenkes.com Sheila Rae, The Brave is one of the many titles in Henkes’ series of mouse books. Sheila Rae prides herself in her ferocity. Unlike her younger sister Louise, Sheila seeks out the danger in the mundane and charges after it. One day, her adventure seeking backfires, and our heroine finds herself alone and in need of rescuing by Louise who proves that she too is brave. As always, Henkes’ watercolor and ink mice have such expressive facial features and postures that they gently shed light on an individual’s frailty without being jarring and encourage the reader to reflect and mature by living vicariously in their world. Consequently, Sheila Rae, The Brave could serve as an easily accessible exemplar of dynamic characterization and the characteristics of the hero cycle explained by Peter R. Stillman in Introduction to Myth . Sheila Rae, The Brave by Kevin Henkes ; illus. by the author Primary Mulberry Paperback Book 32 pp. Published 1987...
