Question #1: How can we make daily processes simpler and more efficient for staff that normally don't interface with technology?
- For some of these staff members just checking email may be difficult or inconvenient.
- Quick Links Menu for Staff
- Using the Design Thinking Process - observation, hearing feedback
- When they see you hearing & applying their feedback, it’s appreciated.
- “Go Do” - just fix it right away
- Lean Thinking - wikipedia.org/wiki/Lean_thinking
- “Go to the work where the place happens to see what’s truly happening.” - the Gemba - wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemba
Question #2: Since there are still some procedures within schools that require paper by law, how can we make the process simpler?
- Bus Driver Hub (screenshot)
- Building value: Does it add value? Is it required? Create stuff that creates value.
- Mimic things that you already know work for the general public like a phone app.
- Make sure it works well on desktop as well as mobile.
- Google Sites

  - Screenshot 2
- Graphics for buttons - iconfinder.com
- Use Google Forms
- Keep in mind “How long will this process take?”
- Do you really need to collect email address? Or can you just ask them for name?
- With date questions in Google Forms click the center button to select “today.”
- Use branching with “go to page based on answer” for options that everyone doesn’t have to fill out
- Form Ranger Google Forms Add-On
- In the Google Sheets backend…
  - Screenshot

  - Lock any tabs of your Sheets that you don’t need others to edit
  - Use Concatenate (support.google.com/docs/answer/3094123) & Substitute (support.google.com/docs/answer/3094215) to create URLs for things like links to Google Maps - Screenshot
