Google Forms & Google Sheets

Google Forms and Google Sheets (excel) are tools that can be used to help teachers quiz students and grade the quizzes in little to no time!

I would use google forms to check my students' knowledge of key literary terms, vocabulary, and reading comprehension. I like the way it makes creating a multiple choice test easy, and find that test on these subjects work well with multiple choice questions. I also like how Google Sheets make grading the quizzes realy fast and immediate, allowing me to know right away if students are struggling with a concept.

The limitation of these tools is that students must have access to computers to take the quiz, as well as internet access. This is a problem that most technology has, where access to materials to use the technology can put the lower income student at a disadvantage. I also feel like Google Forms are casual and would want to use a different platform for more involved/high stakes tests simply because I want students to take it more seriously.

The add-ons are really helpful for teachers once a quiz is put into Google Sheets. Flubaroo is my favorite because it grades your Google Forms quizzes for you, and as a teacher I can see that being very useful. Another add-on I like is Styles which lets me color code the result sheet that Flubaroo creates, allowing me to further personalize my Google Sheet.
