Google Sites Portfolios
Students can track and demonstrate learning using a new Google Site! It allows them to upload a variety of content and organize the content into pages. They are able to load anything from their Google Drive, most content from their computer, and even YouTube videos. Have them create this digital portfolio to show their understanding in your content area!
Google Forms & Locked Mode
Once you have created a google form that you would like to use as an assessment, turn on locked mode to prevent students from opening up other tabs or window while taking the assessment. If they try to open up something else while in locked mode, the assessment will automatically be submitted. Be sure to turn locked mode off once you are ready to grade and evaluate student responses.
TeacherMade
TeacherMade is web-based platform that works to convert any assignment to a digital assignment, autograde, or create multi-modal instructional opportunities. It can be used for something as basic as an assessment or as high-level as a hyperdoc. Teachermade allows for links and audio to be added by the student or teacher. Students can respond in a wide variety of ways and TeacherMade will grade most of the work for you (outside of a written out response). It works nicely with Google Classroom and the feedback about student activity makes it well worth your time. The video below is a quick tutorial to get started. The button to the left will bring up other useful videos when learning how to use Teachermade.
