Google Forms
Google Forms
Google Forms is a cloud-based questionnaire and survey solution with real-time collaboration and powerful tools to customize form questions. Now that students have access to email it will be easier for students to complete Google Forms that you develop. Below are a few ways to use Google Forms for virtual learning
Reading Interest Survey - find out how your students feel about reading and what types of books they are interested in.
Create "mini learning modules" on topics related to Digital Citizenship and Research Skills. In Google Forms embed videos or link presentations about these topics. Develop 3-5 questions (keep it short and simple) for students to answer after watching video or reading presentation. The Google Form can link can be sent to students via email. The form might be optional for students to complete but create some sort of badging system to track students who do complete the form.
Book Recommendation and Reviews - Have students submit a book review. Also, use results to decide what book to read for your school book club.
Research Requests - Use Google Forms to collect the topics that are being researched. Then use the results to prepare reference material in a Destiny Collection.
