Another thing to try
This week, the thing that I found myself most interested in happened more by chance than anything else. As I was looking at a few of the already submitted website evaluations, I noticed that most of the other evaluations had been created with Google Forms (initiated by Zac). I have to admit that at first I was a little hesitant to even look into doing it that way since we hadn't gone through any instruction on it, but it was super easy and user-friendly! I instantly thought of how great this could be for saving paper at school and having students complete tests using Google Forms. All the answers would end up on one spreadsheet, making scoring much quicker which would allow the teacher to spend more time on things that will benefit students. Seeing scores that way will also allow the teacher to quickly see how students did on particular problems and if there is a need for reteaching or further instruction.

For quizzes and tests, I had some of my teachers using classmarker.com. It was free for the features they needed and had more control over how and for how long the questions appeared. Working on the iPad was a major plus for our school and being able to randomize questions really helps prevent cheating.
ReplyDeleteI like using Google Forms for stuff that requires our teachers to login with their Google accounts. For example, our school IT help desk and for our janitorial maintenance requests. I even tried to get our president to use it for employee evaluations. I'm not sure how that turned out.
I found the Google forms to be extremely useful as well. A pleasant surprise to say the least. I never thought of using them for creating tests, though. Great idea!!
ReplyDeleteI love it when good accidents happen. I fell into the same thing with google form. Worked Great!!!
