In "Google Forms and Tablets: Collecting Data on the Fly" with Susan Brooks-Young, I learned the three R's for incorporating technology into my future classroom as well as some interesting tidbits about the future of cloud-based information. Susan said that, in order to incorporate technology effectively, one must have the rationale, the right tools, and the resources to truly make it work. Also, she discussed the pros and cons of working on a web browser vs. an app and that Google Drive is kicking the bucket in favor of Drive File Stream as of Dec. 11! This helped me see what teachers and administrators are currently doing to utilize tech as part of their assessments. Although I'm an English Ed major, I'm a data-junky. Having the right tools is essential for obtaining data.
