When you think of innovative, edgy, compelling uses of technology, Google Forms isn’t exactly the first thing that leaps to mind.

While you’d probably prefer a piece of hardware that’s affordable, easy to use, and mobile that allows students to direct their own mastery of content in peer-to-peer and school-to-school learning environments, for now you just might have to settle for a spreadsheet.

No, wait. Come back. Hear us out.

Spreadsheets are simply a kind of framework, yes? A digital grid to separate–but yet group–students, standards, assessment items, and other moving parts of the industrialized model of learning?

Questionnaires? Reading inventories? Interest inventories? A mastery-by-standard database?
