Podcast, Website & Blog Mid-term Critiques

After completing the mid-term critiques, I am part relieved, part panicked that the semester is already half over. Even though we have only completed the first half, I have already learned a ton of cool tools and resources that I can use in my classroom. One of them which applies to the mid-term critiques is the form creator in Google Docs. I had never used this tool before, and after learning a few tricks to make the form creation easier I really found it to be a huge help in evaluating websites and blogs of my peers. I specifically liked that you could create questions in different formats, making it easier for me to organize the critique and make sure I included everything in the critique that needed to be included. The only thing I have left to figure out is how to view the submitted responses in a different format than a lengthy spreadsheet.
