When school started I was not prepared for how stressful attendance would be! Trying to figure out who logged in and when was just a lot of work, especially when you have kids sitting in front of you.  After trying a few different things, this method is the easiest one that I was able to find. I saw different ideas about using different forms for each class and it started to get too complicated.  Instead, I created one form.  If you want a copy of my google form, click on the link and make a copy. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1yGnyiiKeTDRaE-53n-Bb6lDX89-kokdXCJdpwEAN4Lk/copy If you take the form and edit it so that it fits your class, then you can just click share and copy the link on your learning management system.  I decided to keep my form short and sweet.  My first form I created had different questions and I decided it was too much and it took the students too long.

How to Take Attendance 2. PowerSchool Learning Polls 3. Navigating PowerSchool Learning 4. Using a PowerSchool Learning Discussion Tool 5. Using Kami Tool...
