As we continue through the evaluation process, I feel like I have been mentioning a tool within Google quite a bit. That tool is the Google Form. Google forms can be a great tool in collecting formative information from students. As we continue to move to a 1:1 setting, I thought it would be a good opportunity to revisit this tool.
Here is a quick article from Alice Keeler about the use of Google Forms with an Infographic to use for reference.
Questions to consider:
1. Do you use Google forms in your classroom? Do you find them useful in collecting formative information?
2. Reflect back on your goals from your professional growth plan or the "3 words" activity we did at the beginning of the year. Were any of those focuses on technology or Google? Maybe this is a good place to take a step, using a Google Form to collect information from students.
3. Though we will have to do some PD once we get closer to 1:1, think about how something like using this in class will have to become more prevalent once all students have a computer in their hands.
Forms are awesome and great for grading! All of the answers are in one place! I just saw something about Google Cardboard!? It's under $10 and is a virtual reality simulation for classrooms! It looked so cool and one point was that students can go on virtual college tours! Or if you're teaching background or setting, you can transport students there using the cardboard tool! Just something to think about!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great idea for my first quarter with seniors--and the guidance department for sure!!
