GAIN- Google Forms

Forms is a useful tool utilized by educators. I have personally observed Forms provide survey information for Administrative purposes, as well as implemented in the classroom for testing purposes. One of our 5th grade teachers uses Forms as an assessment tool to judge if his class is following and if they are comprehending the material being covered. This method is also time effective, for he implements the use of self graded forms within Google Spreadsheets. 

Our text notes the reality that our teachers are "bombarded" with requests to gather student performance data. Google Forms in collaboration with Google Spreadsheets seeks to minimize this enormous responsibility teachers have inherited. In addition to helping teachers perform the grand task of testing and scoring, Google has once again conquered several of our Common Core Standards. Our Graham text argues that students who are trained to gather and assess data through Google Forms are better prepared for college and career. This skill set may also demonstrate student's ability to "present information, findings, and support evidence" in a way that an audience is able to clearly understand how conclusion is founded. Also, the tools provided in the Forms program allows students to conduct research projects outlined in High School Writing standards. 

I found the process to create a quiz in Google Forms was very simple. I watched one tutorial and was good to go. The quiz took a total of 15 minutes or so to complete (granted there are only three questions). I spent more time on trying to figure out self-scoring features for my Form within Google Spreadsheets. After watching and reading several tutorials, I was still unable to get my formula to generate the correct calculations.
