I believe I met this standard of being a Creative Communicator because I had to use a Google Form as a way to create a quiz for my students that they can easily access while also giving me immediate feedback when they finished. I found this Google Form from TPT, but had to adjust some stuff to make sure the quiz was aligned appropriately to my SLO standard. This quiz had to be in 8th-grade friendly language and needed to cover all three parts of verbals. It was the most appropriate form of assessment as it gave me immediate feedback to myself and the students, and they were familiar with the format.

The purpose of this pre-assessment was to collect baseline data for my SLO, or Student Learning Objective, in an easy-to-grade manner and in a format that my students would be the most familiar with.

I thought this assignment went well with the students. For one, they didn’t complain about having a pre-test. Another benefit is that the students were already familiar with Google Forms as they use this app frequently in their classes, so I didn’t need to spend any time going over how to fill out the form, submit it, etc. This technology is a great example of substitution from the SAMR model. Instead of giving the students paper and pencil quizzes and taking time out of my day to grade each pre-assessment, I was able to put the questions into Google Forms and receive the students’ results instantly, which is my absolute favorite feature of forms. I could also review frequently missed questions, see the class average, and view the overall stats of the assessment.
