Google Docs to collect and share information
I found out about googledocs (https://docs.google.com/) from primary teacher Tom Barrett. It is a way of collaborating and sharing information.
I created the spreadsheet then created a form in the form menu. You can email the form or embed it on a site which is what I did below. You can share it for collboration or keep it private.

My google form
Here is a variation of the Simpsons Adjectives Activity on GLOW and it was much quicker to set up

Try it now!
