Preparations

On Thursday night, I got the opportunity to attend one of the forums that fit with my schedule. The turn out for the earlier one was much more successful. I talked with Dr. Wills about how to present the information to the parent and planning how the conversation should go. I tried to contact the parent but did not get a response at all. This has been frustrating because I am at a point where I need to either move forward or try a new angle completely. Dawn and I our weekly meeting on Friday where we edited the proposal, added initial questions, gave her access to the blog, and she taught me how to use Google Forms which is now my best friend. The program is amazing and is allowing me to set up questionnaires to study the progress made by the student, parents, and teacher. I am making one for the initial testings and adding some other questions to make a general questionnaire to use for tracking progress, spotting growth, and determining what is not working. The questions convert into a spread sheet, and the answers can be tracked from week to week to measure growth and progress. So at this point, I am waiting to hear from the parent and talk to them about the possibilities. While I am waiting to move forward, I am setting up the questionnaire, and planning situations to use the technology for testing.
