Épisode 26: Smart Ways Teachers Can Use Forms Beyond Surveys
Technology Essentials in Education is your go-to podcast for practical insights on using technology to simplify your school week. Hosted by author and educator Monica Burns, Ed.D., in partnership with Jotform, this series is designed for K-12 educators, administrators, and leaders looking to make a meaningful impact.
In this episode, Monica welcomes Chad Reid, Vice President of Marketing at Jotform, to discuss how online forms can help educators streamline workflows, stay organized, and save valuable time throughout the school year. Drawing on Chad’s twelve-year history with the company, they explore the evolution of forms from simple surveys and quizzes into robust entry points for data management and automation.
Chad explains how forms function as ongoing conversations with parents and students, highlighting versatile behind-the-scenes use cases like reflection logs, request workflows, and Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). They dive into the newly released Jotform AI, demonstrating how AI-driven prompt builders remove "blank page syndrome" and allow busy teachers to deploy complex, accessible forms in a fraction of the time. The conversation also touches upon district-level logistics, including athletic departments, IT requests, and compliance reporting, emphasizing that educators do not need to be tech wizards to completely transform their productivity.
