Google Forms Assignments

What types of assignments can I do?

Suppose you don't want to use a form for a quiz/test, but you still want a quick way to collect answers. A form is a great way of doing it! One of my favorite features of Google Forms is its Youtube/Images integration. This would be great for a flipped lesson you wanted students to complete at home, or for a sub day where you want students to be able to learn on their own! If it's due at the end of class, the timestamp feature tells you when they submitted it, so you can see if someone was slacking :).

One great way to assign Google Forms is through Google Classroom. Simply create an "Assignment" and choose "add link" and put the link to the form there. If it is the only thing attached to the assignment, it will automatically "Mark as Done" for the student as well!

Examples

Here is an example of a form I created with a Youtube video. You can embed it straight in the form, and then ask questions for students to answer during/after the video to check for understanding. Here I did a 3-2-1 question, so students had to tell me three things they learned, two things they want to learn more about, and one thing they still had a question on. A great way to check that they understood it, and since you would expect everyone to have different answers on this, a great way to make sure they weren't just copying straight off of another person's worksheet.

Here is an example of a form I created that has an image embedded. I took a math problem/exit ticket from LearnZillion, and then put in a way for students to answer the question and I instantly have a formative assessment telling me if the students understood. I could even put in a Youtube video lesson before this, so students could watch that if they were stuck! Here, I have students simply use a drop-down to select their answer (14 is the correct answer) and then upload a snapshot of their work. They can take a picture of their scratch work with the Chromebook's webcam or their phone if they were doing it at home. That way, if they get the question wrong on the form, I can go in and look at their work so I can help that student see where they went wrong. You could also use this to have students take a picture of something at home or around town that relates to what you are doing in class!
