Google Forms

Google Forms Challenge

by Katherine Ramsey

• What did you create, and why? 

         I created a Google Forms quiz. I will give students this quiz once they get their Chromebooks. It is designed to see if they pay attention to details. I used the new "quiz" format which allows for selection of correct answers and feedback to students.

• What went well for you?

         Most of the challenge went well. The Synergise tutorials are very helpful. I was finally able to learn how to change the "theme" of a form as well as collect email addresses. I wish there was a way to set it to collect email addresses as a default. I was excited to try the new "quiz" format. I was able to assign points to each question as well as provide the correct answers and feedback to be given based on whether the student got the correct or incorrect answers.

• What was challenging?

        Nothing was too challenging. I wish I knew a way to make it default to collecting email addresses. 

• What did you enjoy? 

        I enjoyed setting up the quiz and creating the feedback for each question. I'm looking forward to using this in class the first week of school.

• What ideas do you have for using this tool with your students, grade level, staff or to communicate with families? 

         I will use Google Forms to assess student knowledge (formative and summative). I will use it to assist in creating seating and group assignments. I could use Google Forms to get information from parents at the beginning of the year (for those that have computer access at home).
