Week 5 Google Forms

Google Forms

This was an exciting week as I learned to use what is now one of my favorite new tools:  Google Forms!  To make forms for the classroom, go to Google Drive, Click on "New", select "more" options, and then click on "Google Forms."  From there, you will get something that looks like the screenshot above.  You will be prompted to enter your title and the type of question you want to include.   Your options include text, multiple choice, paragraph text, and checkboxes.  Each is helpful for different circumstances.  Google forms quickly allows people to create forms that look professional (you get to choose from several templates) and that are easy for students to access and complete.

One of the most exciting aspects of Google Forms is that it can allow the creators to gather information and collect survey results in a spreadsheet form.  Then, there are other tools that can be used to grade the quizzes if the teacher desires.

Here is Google Forms link to a quiz I made. The quiz was used as a comprehension check after I reviewed the Preterite and Imperfect past tenses with my Spanish 3 classes.

Google forms are fantastic for student surveys, quizzes, and comprehension checks.  They are intuitive to make and take virtually no time.  In fact, the hardest part for me was learning how to correctly share the link with my students.  Google forms are a great tool to add to your teacher's toolbox!
