Google forms is a great way to set up a test, quiz, or other activity. It gives you the option for multiple choice, short answer, essay answer, or checkboxes. There's plenty of design options. You can change the font, color, and even pick a theme. As you can see below, I picked a fall theme to go along with my questions. The example below is just a fun little form about the fall for an elementary school class. As you can see by my example below, your answers can also have pictures attached; I used these to make it easy for very young students to fill it out and help them understand it better. This tech tool can definitely fall into Domain 1f. This section of Domain 1 talks about designing student assessments. Google forms is an excellent tool to use to design simple quizzes and maybe even a test to gage your student's understanding of the material. It can also fall under 4c. This section of Domain 4 talks about parent/teacher communication. Google forms are a very easy way to communicate with parents, especially when figuring out times and dates for parent/teacher conferences. There is a specific setting on Google forms that lets parents put dates and times that work for them right there. Finally, it could also fall under 4b. This section of Domain 4 talks about maintaining accurate records. If you give tests on Google forms, you can easily organize them on your computer. You can also easily keep track of and organize parent responses if you use it for that purpose. As a teacher, I would most likely use this tool to communicate with parents or give my students summative assessments. Google forms makes it very easy to create quizzes and tests. It also makes a very good, organized response system; like I said earlier, I would definitely use this to communicate with parents to easily build a parent/teacher conference schedule or just to get their thoughts on things. I think I can see myself using this tool; it would have to make sense in the situation of course and I don't think I would use it very often, but I do think I would use it to make some quizzes as it makes that process rather seamless. When I remember to, I would use it for parent-teacher communication to.
Directly below this infographic I have included the link to the form for future use.
