Download Panopto Playlist Videos Bookmarklet
I always thought bookmarklets were cool. I still think they are cool. I like the idea of little tiny tools that live in a place reserved for something else entirely. Alan has 89 posts mentioning bookmarklets. That’s also a clue that they’re interesting. What drove this was that Panopto removing the RSS feed option in […]

Parallel Practice: Gravity Forms Pattern
Round of the parallel practice tool was done in Google Forms/Sheets. Things went pretty well and an internal award was given to help take the project to the next level. I did a bit of early sketching with the form a little while ago. This week, I’ve been working on it more diligently and I […]

Adding Gravity Form Merge Field Modifiers
Gravity Forms does all kinds of nice things with merge fields.

In spite of
Audrey’s post explaining why she’s stepping away from ed-tech for good was something that resonated with me in a few different ways. I’ve also been a fan of Desmos (the tool) and Dan Meyer (the person) for a long time. That’s going back many years (2009 easily). But I separate the tool and the person […]

I used this on the Anti-Racism site and forgot to document it. First set up your form so it gets you the data you need. You’ll need something like […]
Changing the Order of Fields on Gravity Forms Mobile View
This is one of those odd needs that maybe no one will ever have but I think it’s worth documenting because you can do it. Seeing possibilities helps change how you think.

Customizing Your Gravity Forms to Slack Message
Gravity Forms has a great Slack addon that lets you push content from form submissions into Slack. I like it because you can centralize conversations in Slack while guiding submissions from people outside your organization. I’ve used it mainly for support requests. Slack is an easy place to discuss the submission (doing this via email […]
