Google Forms

For this Web 2.0 tool, I worked in a project with one of my classmates. I learned how to use it pretty well, and I’m going to definitely use it in the classroom. Moreover, this is one of my favorite Web 2.0 tools thus far, and I believe it’s going to be one of my favorite tools in my future classroom. This could be very useful in the classroom. One of the uses in the classroom for this tool is giving homework and tests/quizzes online in and/or outside the classroom in form format. You just need to make your form with questions you would use in a regular test/quiz and email it to the students. Each of them will receive it and have the opportunity to fill it out and submit it online. The questions can be a multiple choice question, true/false, text paragraph, or a mixture of all these types of tests/quizzes questions. You then obtain each of the results with each of the responses, where you can see each answer and the question.

Another use for this tool would be to collect students’ information. For example, you can create a form with questions asking students for name, email, address, phone number, and so on. More importantly, you can create a form to evaluate instruction. For instance, you can create a form to use weekly with questions asking students about the class and instruction up to that particular point in the semester. This form could include questions what went well during this week in class? What needs to be improved? What helped you learn the most? What did not help you? Also, we can use a form to get to know our class. This could include questions about likes and dislikes and a little bit about their background.
