Form Pilot Activity
The form pilot activity wasn't terribly hard and is definitely a good resource. While it's definitely originally created for filling out forms or applications, I also feel like it could be a great classroom tool for having students complete quizzes or worksheets on a computer. Once the teacher has created the template, it would be simple for students to use after minimal instructions are provided. And because of the way it is set up students wouldn't even need to be capable of using a mouse. As for the additional "brownie point" challenge, I found this quite difficult at first and almost even gave up on it after getting rather frustrated but I did finally manage to work through it in the end, and I think it is a worthwhile tool to have especially if it was going to be used in a classroom where the bold type may be easier for a student. The only other part of the project that I found frustrating was actually handing it in, hence why I haven't so far even though I am already blogging about it. I saved it as a form pilot document and the digital dropbox won't accept it. Any thoughts on how I can get digital dropbox to send the assignment?

Hi Kim!
That digital dropbox can be a hassle! :) As for the form pilot project I definitely agree that this is a tool that will be very useful to us as teachers in the future! Its simple, effective and will definitely benefit our students with varying needs and abilities! As I said in my blog- its simple, easy to use and thus really ok in my book!
The form pilot activity wasn't not hard to use at all and is a great resource. I liked the comment that you wrote on my page about it being great for spelling, I definitely agree! I'm sorry that you had trouble with the digital dropbox. I hope that it will work for you. Maybe you can send it in an email to someone with a PC and then digital dropbox it from the PC?!
Yes, the Dropbox can be problematic sometimes. Fortunately that's not something you need to deal with in your own classrooms.
