Using formative and summative assessments in our classrooms is a cornerstone for good teaching. Although teachers know that they should use these assessments in their classrooms, creating, distributing and checking the assessments has complicated the reality teachers of using them on a regular basis. Google forms has changed all of this. Thanks to Google forms, assessments are freely created, distributed and checked without having to make copies, distribute them to students and then collect them to check for student understanding. Assessments can also be shared with colleagues and saved from year to year.
The best part about all of this is that Google Forms is easy to use! Below is a video and a link to a handout that will help you get started using Goolge Forms in your classroom.
