QUICK TIP: Sharing a Google Form

Creating a form is a super efficient way to gather information from people. You can use forms to get information about a new group of students, parent/guardian information, permission slips, and even create quizzes. When you want to share a created form with an audience, especially if you are sending the form to people outside of the school district, there are some tweaks you need to make. Watch the gif above for step by step instructions, or see below for the slides broken down for you.

Sharing Videos with Students

Many districts (including my own) have restrictions set up for videos that are accessible on YouTube. With good reason, too; there is a lot of garbage out there. However, there are a lot of great resources available on YouTube, and often teachers come across a great video to share with their students and they are left with few options to be able to share the video with the kids.
