I’m listening to your podcast about walk throughs right now (a little behind on podcasts), and I wanted to share the app that I am using. I bought an app for my iPhone called “TapForms” I believe it was around $10. It allows you to setup your own forms of whatever type you want. You can attach pictures, voice recordings, and whatever type of information you want. So I setup a form based on what I’m looking for when I do a walk-through. And if I really like something I’m able to take a picture. As I am leaving the room, I can click on “Email this form,” and email it to the teacher right away. Then later, it sets itself up as an FTP server, so you can download a spreadsheet which contains all the data from the all the forms completed. Although I haven’t done so yet, I plan to setup an excel workbook to paste the data in that will agregate the information and let me know how often I’m seeing each of the things I’m looking for.
Thought I would share in case others are looking for other options.
Just discovered the podcast and it is great. I love the They Might be Giants songs. Check out The Terrible Twos for more great children’s music. It is aimed towards a younger audience, but even my 4th graders enjoy it.
Hi,
I really like the podcast app you are using. What is it?
Please share!

Hi Dave – When you say podcast “app,” what do you mean? To create, publish or to embed in the blog?
Come to think of it, now that we have this pretty much down to a science, I should probably post a “Behind the Scenes” post one of these days…
