Using Google Forms for Digital Assessments and More

Google forms is an app apart of the Google suite that allows you to collect information through a personalized quiz or survey. This can be used in so many different ways not only in a classroom setting but for everyone who uses it! When creating a Google form, you can customize the questions, like having multiple choice, fill in the blank, file upload, check boxes, multiple choice grids and the input time as well. You name it, Google forms can record it for you! Google forms can be used for sign in and out sheets, quizzes, feedback, and bell ringers too! All the information from these forms can be quickly transported into a a spreadsheet to be able to review the information that was out in by the students. Your form does not need to be boring though! You can create cute backgrounds and have theme colors on your Google form to give it more of a fun look! There is also an option on Google forms to allow it to automatically grade submissions. I'm going to be honest, I am not quite sure how to use it, but I know it's available! I am very interested in using that, especially when I have my own classroom! Soon I plan on finding a good video, and learning how to use the automatic grading system! Rather than using clickers, teachers are turning to Google forms, and that is a great thing! Google forms proves itself that it is efficient and easily operable every single time you use it! I used to use Google forms at my old job where we took inventory on thousands of Ipads and other devices. We used Google forms as a check in/check out system and we could even email the students their receipts of turning it in! All from a few clicks of a button. I think it would be great to use Google forms as a check in/check out system in the classroom. Students could fill out a form to check out supplies, books, and tools they need to learn, and if something comes up missing, the teacher could find information on the checked out item instantly! See... the possibilities are endless!
