Personalizing Learning
In this session we will focus on personalizing learning by using Google Forms, Sheets, Docs, and Slides. You will have an opportunity to experiment with different ideas, strategies, and add-ons to build your own toolkit. Your students will love learning in your classroom.
Google Forms
Ideas to Add you your Classroom!
- Google Forms for Needs Assessments
- Create a choose your own adventure story!
- Create an assessment using images and words.
- Create a rubric to grade your students and use Autocrat to turn all the feedback into documents.
Autograded quizzes — If you create a quiz or other assessment with closed-ended questions, Google Forms will autograde it for you. Create your quiz and click the gear (settings) button. Choose the “Quizzes” tab and turn on “Make this a quiz”. You have some options in that window. Then, go through your questions and select the correct answer (your answer key).
Exit ticket/bell ringer — Have students answer questions at the beginning or end of class with a Google Form. Add images, links, videos and more to the form to make it a richer multimedia experience. Then gather all of the student responses in a spreadsheet.
