How would I use this in the classroom
There are SO many different ways that Google Forms can be used in the classroom. Here are some that I think I would find useful and would be able to use.
-Pose questions to parents on classroom blog or school websites. It could be to get feedback on an event like Open House. This is a quick and simple way to ask parents what they liked, what would they change for next year, etc.. or you could have parents fill out information on your classroom blog as to if they would like to be a parent volunteer, what days, etc..
-Collecting data anonymously during staff meetings.
-Exit Slips. Before leaving class, students can fill out what they have learned or respond to a posed question.
-Letting students make decisions for example, which book would they like to read for a novel study, or where would they be interested in going on a field trip, etc.
-Answering questions. No need for paper and pencil, students can type their responses to question through a Google Form!
-Getting to know students or what they did over Christmas break.
-Peer assessments.
The list goes on and on. I can for sure see myself using Google Forms in my future classroom. Its a great way to collaborate, gather information, and assess students. I am amazing at how many different ways you can actually use this wonderful tool! I can see myself using it, even with young students!
