Google Forms

Google Forms are a great user friendly tool for any teacher to incorporate in and out of the classroom.  A form made in Google allows you to give multiple question quizzes, collect surveys, plan events, or other questionnaires.  Another cool feature is that it is then connected to a spreadsheet where the responses are sent.  The spreadsheets are very clean and easy to read.  I would definitely recommend Google Forms to all educators.  I chose to create a quiz on slavery for this assignment.

I tried to embed my form, but it was way too large for the screen and cut off more than half of the form.  However, I saw that others in this class had successfully embedded.  Therefore, worked hard until I figured it out.  I simply adjusted the custom size when I clicked to embed!  There are many ways to share Google Forms: link, email, embedding, as well as social media like Twitter and Google+.  Plus, you don't have to have a Google account to get access to the form if you create it publicly.


Using Google Forms would be a great, easy way to incorporate technology in my classroom, not only for student use but also for parents, staff, etc.  Another advantage is that this type of quiz or survey would help eliminate paper grading since the responses are sent to a spreadsheet where you can then analyze in the next assignment.  Students can also create their own quiz or survey for the class to partake in.

This activity relates to the ISTE NETS T standard 2: Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments.  This standard about assessment and and digital age tools.  This activity allows you to create quizzes, surveys, and questionnaires that will help you to acquire and assess data on a frequent basis from students, staff, or parents. This can be done by simply creating and publishing a form.  Students could create a form to share data for science fair projects, research projects, and personal interests of their peers.
