Yesterday Google dropped some big news releasing a quiz feature that will revolutionize the use of Google Forms as a formative assessment tool. Many teachers have used Flubaroo in years past to auto-grade assessments administered through Google Forms. Flubaroo is a fantastic tool, but it is not automatic, involves an extra step (as is the nature of an add-on), and is more teacher grading focused than student feedback focused. To see a comparison between Flubaroo and the new Quiz feature in forms click here.You can now turn any Google Form into a quiz and students can receive immediate feedback on their performance. The slides below walk through some of the "how to's" and highlights:
How can this impact your math instruction? Students respond best to immediate, specific, and constructive feedback. The new features in forms allow you to provide that feedback and also to provide resources that immediately support students in accessing extra support or enrichment material. There is so much potential in using these new features to support blended learning and differentiation in instruction. I look forward to seeing this in action with students!
