GAIN 4: Google Forms

Gain 4: Google Forms

Outside Sources:

• When I attempted to follow the link to the tutorials for Google Forms, all of the tutorials were locked.  However, I did follow a link for instructions on how to create a self-graded quiz-- entitled Self-Grading Multiple-Choice Tests with Google Docs-- found at rpollack.net.  I found that these instructions were quite clear until the step of creating the array formula for the self-grading portion of the form.  No matter how many times I checked myself and the manner in which I was writing my array formula, it did give me the results that I desired.  At this point of instruction, I stopped using the steps in this site and instead began following the steps presented on my professor's guide sheet.

Educational Use:

There are plenty of ways that Google Forms could be utilized in a school setting.  In Google Meets Common Core, Graham mentions several uses from a school staff point-of-view.  Special education teachers can create forms that monitor information about students that will be useful for their Individual Education Plans.  Principals, or even teachers, can create forms that monitor disciplinary actions that are taken with a student.  The form can monitor the time of the infraction, the class period, student, and the type of misbehavior.  These forms can be as available or as secure as they need to be.  Counselors can use forms as a way for their students to communicate with them.  As far as students go, students can create their own surveys to harvest data for research projects-- this would be a great way to get students using technology to make sense of the world around them.
