In the past, you could use Google Forms to give students quizzes, but you needed to use an external add-on called Flubaroo to grade it. At the end of last year, Google updated their forms, so you can now turn them into a quiz and have it automatically graded and give feedback to students without a third party tool. I don't know about anyone else, but I always like finding tricks that will save me time from marking!Another reason I appreciate using Google forms for quizzes is that it allows students to use an add-on that will read them the questions (Select and Speak is the one we use)- great for accessibility for our lower level readers!
Here is a quick overview of how to create a quiz using forms:
When you have your form open (In Drive--> New--> Google Form), you will want to go to settings (the little gear icon in the top right-hand corner). Then you will want to click where it says "Quizzes", and then slide the little bar that says "make this a quiz". There are also a few settings here you can change as well. I like to allow my students to see their grades after they finish so they can see their mistakes and read the answer feedback on the questions they may have gotten incorrect.
Next, you will start to type up a question. Once you have it entered, you will click where it says "Answer Key"
Once students begin to submit, you will be able to get their responses by clicking on the responses button on the top of your form
You can then choose to view it in a spreadsheet or see the visual created by forms. **You will have to mark long answer questions by yourself**
Also, one extension for Chrome that I have loved this year is called 'NIMBUS SCREENSHOT AND VIDEO RECORDER". It is what I used to capture and annotate all my images. If you are looking for a tool to take screenshots, Nimbus has a lot of useful features and is really user-friendly.
