Using Google Forms for Writing Conferences

Check out how Laura Steeno uses Google Forms during her writing conferences.  She has each of the parts of the conference as a text question in the form: Research, Support (Compliment), Teaching Point, and Link.  These serve as great reminders while conducting the conference.
