We need to decide to commit to 1:1 or not. The arguments you put forth here are similar to the need to put netbooks or Chromebooks in the hands of students. 1st CHS Tech Comm was about this too.

I have made some changes to the form but I am not sure how to make sure it saves to my google documents and erases all of the old data so we can begin collecting our own. This is only my second google document so if you could help me that would be great! Colin,

I was wondering if having one person make the modifications and then share with others who in turn would make a copy would work. (By the same token, I would think making a copy for each school, sharing it, and then transferring ownership to them would work as well.) I was not sure what would happen with the part about turning on the script trigger...whether the modified script would be what is turned on as opposed to the original script. From your answer, looks like that is not a problem. Colin,

One person should first customize the form and the script (and test it to make sure everything works). Then they can submit that form to the Google template gallery (either the public gallery or their internal Google Apps gallery), but right clicking on the document in the document list and choosing Submit to template gallery. Then other admins choose Create->From Template in Google docs and find the customized walkthrough form. Another way is to have the original editor just share it with the other admin staff and then they choose File->Make a copy and they would then have their own copy. After that they just need to customize the staff list and authorize the script to send emails. What I did for our district was set up each site as a copy of my original, did the customization/authorization and then when it was all ready, shared it with the admin. In fact at first I just sent them the link to the form and didn't even get into the spreadsheet side of things until the end of the year when they wanted to do some analysis. Hi Frank,

I have been showing showing administrators how to use GoogleDocs to conduct classroom walkthroughs on a tablet for some time. The common question is how to provide feedback to teachers. You have provided that valuable missing link. I have one question. Suppose a district had its own particular questions, and all administrators in that district use that same set of questions.You have provided instructions on how to modify the script, and one option would be that each administrator would copy your public template, modify the questions, and modify the script. Is there a more efficient way. If one administrator modified the questions and script, can you tell me what he/she could then do to so that other administrators would be able to use the modified form and script? Colin,
