You can use the multiple choice grid style of question in Forms to accomplish matching questions, order of operations, identifying character traits, attributes of an element, using the correct tool for a shop project, etc. - and all of these will grade automatically.
You can also add images to the Forms in many places.
Watch this video to learn some basics, or invite me to your building to show you how to use this to perform customized assessments for your content area!
More than a few teachers have contacted us about improving the security of their assessments when using Forms. Here are a few ideas:
use the new(ish) feature in to put a Form in LOCKED MODE
Turn off "accepting responses" in the Form so students can't preview it
Require students to enter a password to see the Form
Ask a better variety of questions
Require a minimum number of words in an answer
Use image or video based questions (both can be inserted into a Form question)
Please contact me for any help with these solutions.
Some educators avoid assigning writing, believing that they don’t have the time to either incorporate such a project or grade it. Thankfully, writing assignments need not be long in order to be effective. If you don’t wish to assign a potentially time-consuming project, try these short assignments to help students become better writers and thinkers.
Some of these are as short 1-3 sentences!

A knock on Google Forms has been that font choices are highly limited - you can barely use BOLD and ITALICS as options.
