GOOGLE FORMS

Well, I have to say, I had a much easier time creating this form.  It was actually kind of fun!  Thank you for the detailed lecture and example in class.
Google Forms can have many applications which will be discussed below:
     Gone are the days of having to pull out the red pen and hand-grade your student's tests!!  Teachers can use these forms to administer tests and analyze the responses given on a test, as demonstrated in our assignment for this week. While I only created a multiple choice test, I did experiment with the other test question options.  Teachers can create tests/quizzes in many forms, depending on what kind of response they are looking for.
     Forms can also be used for other types of evaluation. They have the options of keeping track of behavior, grades, progress, student information survey's and parent survey's.  Teachers can even keep track of these things via their mobile devices.
     It is also a good way to follow student's strengths and weaknesses.  This could be beneficial for faculty meetings or even parent-teacher meetings. Having an ongoing record of the student's progress makes the meetings more efficient.
     Forms are not only beneficial for teachers and administrators, but also students.  As a part of the Common Core, students will need to be able to use this technology to prepare for college and possible careers.  Anchor standard 1 discusses using digital data-gathering techniques and how it can save time as well as prepare students for the future.
     In a world where we have become accustom to instant information, this is just another way that we can provide instant feedback to our students, instant analyzation of the responses we get back, and have instant information at our finger tips in case we need to convey it.
