Google forms

Here is the link to the survey form I created using Google docs. And here are the results. A friend of mine who is also in this class was very kind to take my survey. To answer the question of how I would get this form to parents, I might post it on Edline so that it could be easily accessed without the necessity of needing email addresses. For students i might create a link on the desktop of my classroom computers so that it would be easily accessible to my students. As for coworkers, I might email it to them assuming I had all their email addresses. I definitely think this is one of my absolute favorite activities. Partly because I had no idea it existed and I can already think of a variety of ways I can use it. For example, I have parents and students complete surveys each year to give me feedback on our program. Normally, I send these home in a paper format, however, this is a great way to complete those. Also, it would be even better because the results would be tabulated as the parents complete the surveys which would make it easier for me. I just LOVE this tool!

The creation of a Google form would be a great way to have students reflect on an activity. This type of activity would fit well under standard 1- Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity, bullet c- promote student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students' conceptual understanding and thinking, planning, and creative processes. I also think that if you used Google forms to create a quiz or test for students would help change up the routine of things. This type of activity would best fit under technology standard 2- Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments, bullet d- provide students with multiple and varied formative and summative assessments aligned with content and technology standards and use resulting data to inform learning and teaching. And finally, if you used this form to get feedback from parents then this activity would fit well under technology standard 3- Model Digital-Age Work and Learning, bullet c- communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats.
