Using Google Forms in the ClassroomBlog about the following thoughts: What has been or now is your experience with Google Forms? Is it intuitive? What challenges did you encounter when building your form? Do you think this tool would be beneficial for your teaching practice?
I really have not utilized Google Forms much in my 5th grade classroom. In taking a closer look now, I see that Google Forms has been updated and there seem to be more options. In doing a little further research in how other educators are using Google Forms, I am more motivated to give it a try again. Some of the more obvious tasks include creating assignments or quizzes, soliciting/collecting parent or student information and as a reflection/feedback tool. Some of the other uses I came across include building easy to use rubrics which could be really handy to use during student presentations, recording details during one-on-one student reading conferences, creating comprehension assessments with a video story embedded into the form and exit tickets. One of the ideas I’m most intrigued by is creating Amazing Race style assignments where students work to unlock clues and as they do, the teacher gives them a validation code that will unlock the next clue or task on the Google Form. I would think student engagement would be high as they work to unlock their challenges.

Thanks, Jenny, for sharing your ideas of potentially how to use GF in the future with your students. Because I currently teach 4th grade, your ideas resonate with how will use GF in the future with my students. Sure wish our school had a 1:1 devices:students ratio, so all students could get on at the same time to complete the forms--especially for informal/quick assessments and/or exit tickets.

Doesn't it sound great! You listed some great idea, but I love the Amazing Race idea. Maybe we could work on something like this together!!

I agree that student engagement would be through the roof if they were required to unlock challenges. There is the gaming strategy that we learned about last semester. I still can't quite picture how to set up games using Forms, but I would love to help in your class some afternoon once you figure it out.
