Born in Oklahoma in 1945, Dougherty was raised in North Carolina. He earned a B.A. in English from the University of North Carolina in 1967 and an M.A. in Hospital and Health Administration from the University of Iowa in 1969. Later, he returned to the University of North Carolina to study art history and sculpture. Combining his carpentry skills with his love of nature, Patrick began to learn more about primitive techniques of building and to experiment with tree saplings as construction material. In 1982 his first work, Maple Body Wrap, was included in the North Carolina Biennial Artists’ Exhibition, sponsored by the North Carolina Museum of Art. In the following year, he had his first one-person show entitled, Waitin’ It Out in Maple at the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. His work quickly evolved from single pieces on conventional pedestals to monumental scale environmental works, which required saplings by the truckloads. Over the last thirty-some years, he has built over 300 of these works, and become internationally acclaimed.

These little ships were mooredabreast in platoons. But near the end of the docklay one a little apart from the rest. No canvaswas bent on her booms; there was no cordage onher deck, nor any running-gear aloft. She was atrim boat, but had the unmistakable appearanceof abandonment. The walrus man stepped over the cap-log to thedeck of this disused schooner. He passed quicklydown the after companion, as one upon familiarground. At the foot of the steps, a door oneither side led into musty state-rooms; but theman went straight ahead into the main cabin. In this room a figure was hunched over thecenter-table.

I have difficulty with paper. I know how to write, and can take notes, jot things down, doodle, and write paragraphs. My difficulty is in managing many pieces of paper, forms, IEPs, and memos---stack of papers end up on every flat surface. I'm getting better at filing, but still, it's a constant struggle. When I discovered Google forms and google docs to use with the iPad, possibilities for going paperless in different areas of my day began jumping out at me. One area was in taking attendance. For those of you who don't know what I do, I'll explain here. I'm a public school speech pathologist, so I really don't have a classroom of children such as the one pictured on the right (no one now has such a classroom!). I do have to keep track of attendance of those children that I work with during the day. Each child that I see has an IEP or intervention plan of some sort. Legally, special educators are required by law to work with the child a certain number of times either per week or per quarter for a certain number of minutes. Each child's times are different and attendance needs tracked. Some therapists have a separate attendance form per child that they meticulously record the attendance on, but I have a lot of organizational problems with 25 separate paper forms--I often lose the form and fumble around in folders looking for the right piece of paper. It's a definite weakness of mine. Enter iPad forms and google docs! Last summer, I worked in the Extended School Year program, and decided to try taking attendance with the iPad. If you do not know how to create a Google form for taking data, go to an earlier post here. This post merely provides the reader with another use of a Google form with the assumption that you know how to make the form. I first created the form. This image is only the first three kids on the list, but on Google forms, you can scroll down to see all 26 children's names. I changed the names, obviously. Each day, I filled out this form (I did this on an iPad but it can be filled out on a computer if you don't have an iPad). When you submit the form, it throws your data into a Google spreadsheet such as the one pictured below. (I went into the spreadsheet later and added the yellow highlight just to make sure I did everyone's progress report.) The spreadsheet in Google docs extends to the right for 26 children's names. You can then choose to see a Summary of Responses by going into your Google Spreadsheet and looking under 'Form'. The image below shows how your data can be automatically graphed. This attendance form was easy to use and paperless. Spreadsheets can be easily shared with supervisors and co-workers. I can add more categories during the regular school year such as the times children did not get their speech session due to meetings the therapist had to attend, or due to class field trips. It's imperative that all special education professionals document their time and the children's time to make sure IEP requirements are being met. Google forms and spreadsheets can help with this.
