I decided to put in my time during my summer break to create Google Forms to make data collection and analysis a bit easier when I start school in September. I have more than 30 Google Forms created. Of course I do not plan to use all of the Google Forms I am creating, but as a Certified Google Educator I never know when I may have to use a different form to help another teacher or when doing a technology presentation.
One way Google Forms can help me work smarter is I can use the forms and spreadsheets to quickly collect information about the students. I can see the students’ strengths and weaknesses. I can decide if I need to reteach the lesson to the whole class, work with a small group of students, or just work with one or two students. I can enter data using my Google Form when having a one-to-one conference with a student. I can even give a whole class spelling test online. Instead of students writing the words, they end up typing the spelling of the words online using a Google Form. I can then use Flubaroo to grade the test for me. Isn’t that awesome?
Another way I have enjoyed using Google Forms is when planning independent small group station activities. I have students open a Google Form and complete various activities related to the topics they are studying in class. On the Google Form, they can access a YouTube video and after viewing the video they can respond to question about what they learned. Other times I just have them respond to the stories students are reading in class. I love how I do not have to bring home papers to grade. I can just open the Google Spreadsheet at home and read all the responses.
One new way I plan to use Google Forms this year is to make students more accountable for their actions. I can have students enter quick information if they did not hand in homework. I can also have students check-in and check-out when they leave the classroom and return. The spreadsheet will automatically show me the date and time the information was entered. There are so many great ways to use Google Forms.
Google Forms on TpT
As you can see, there are many ways we can work smarter and not harder when using Google Forms in the classroom. If anyone wants information on my “Google Forms Club” to access all my Google Forms, you can go to my TpT store and check it out.

How do some of you use Google Forms in your classroom? Leave a comment below and let me know how you try to work smarter and not harder.
I just started using Google Classroom. This is a big help!
ReplyDeleteI am keeping my fingers crossed that we will use Google Classroom this up coming school year. Up to this point I provided the link, and students would go straight to the Google Form.
DeleteI am new to Google Classroom, so I found this really useful, especially the way you can use Google Forms during small group activities. There are so many opportunities! Great blog design by the way.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! There are so many cool ways of using Google Forms. I am going to focus on using Google Forms as much as possible this school year.
DeleteOne way I have used Google Forms is by having my students complete a math word problem worksheet. I require my students to highlight key words, circle data, and show their work (something you can't do on Google Forms). Then they have to go into the Google Form and enter their answers. This allows me to grade their paper quickly and then go right to their wrong answers to see where they went wrong.
ReplyDeleteYes I agree Catie. I would love for students to be able to do the same when completing word problems and somehow show it on Google Forms. My daughter's teacher had her do the same thing. She would do the homework on a sheet of paper, but had to enter her answers into a Google Form. This is a great way because it allows you to see what students struggle with when it comes to math.
DeleteOnce the supplier has gone around the desk, they flip up their 우리카지노 face-down card. If it’s 17 or larger, they have keep with|to stick with} their hand. If the supplier busts, each player that’s still in that spherical wins twice their wager.
