For my third artifact, I created a short assessment using Google Forms. This is a simple way teachers can pose questions online for students, either as a formative assessment or as a way for them to review ideas after a reading.
You are able to ask a variety of questions, such as multiple choice, select a box, list, short answer and long answer questions. As you go through you are able to add in videos or photos to help give some context.
For each question you can assign a specific point value, and create customized feedback based on whether the student selects the wright or wrong answer.
Further, you are able to link the Google Form to an excel spreadsheet that will automatically record all the student answers. I think this is one of the best features and can make this Google Form really useful. You could have students post responses to readings as a journal, or get them to give updates on a project they are working on, or simply as a Q & A format for students to post question. If you want to make it anonymous you can get rid of the need for students to put their name or email address.
Above you can see some screenshots of what the students would see when they finished completing the quiz. You can choose to make the answers visible or not, depending on the reason you are creating the form. The last picture at the bottom is an example of what the Google Spreadsheet would look like. This is a great aspect of Google Forms because it allows you to record all the student answers so you can quickly get feedback on what they did well and what they need to review.
