Heading into the research papers...

Surveys done with Google Forms had mixed reviews. The biggest concerns involved getting recipients to access the survey. Sometimes they worked fine, sometimes there were issues and many recipients did not take the surveys. A solid review of procedure is worth considering for next year.

One issue with surveys I had, as the teacher, is making sure I knew what my students were doing. Some students moved directly to their surveys without reading the handouts available on the class Site. Those surveys were not written with proper flow, or focus. With monitoring 18 students, each at different stage of research, my Share With Me file is enormous. Keeping track of where everyone IS at any given time has been a problem. A couple last minute 'catches' were necessary. This is a prime example of why Teacher Dashboard is critical as a monitoring tool.

It's a case of too many irons in the fire!
