Use 3 different Add-ons on one Form and do a review on your experience:
From the list of Add-ons above, use at least three of these in your form to see how they work. If you already have data collected you might choose to explore Auto-Crat, or RowCall. After your experience I would like you to write a blog review of the Add-ons you chose and what hurdles you encountered and your overall experience. Blog Disclaimer: I wasn’t able to get a chance in the last week and a half to actually create a google form and have my kids partake in it, but I watched a few video tutorials of the add-ons below and provided my thoughts, and I did download three add-ons that I plan on using in the next week or so. Sorry, my curriculum at this time just didn’t allow for any extra time for this right now. FormMule: I love the idea of having an email template where we can send out emails to multiple students, however at Napa High we don’t have the culture set where students are checking their devices on a daily basis. I could see using this sometime in the future if I had the time to pre-load all my students emails and even my parents emails into FormMule, so I could send home reminders about projects, HW, and even use it for positive and negative reinforcement. I do enjoy when students email me, and they’re getting better and better at it...I’m afraid of the Pandora’s Box I’d be opening up if I started communicating with all 160 of my students and their parents in a larger way. I feel like I’d be spending tremendous amounts of time emailing. When I went to download this add-on, it asked me to log into my tu.edu account, and that’s the drive it started using when I started to play around with it. I don’t know enough to know if I was doing it right, but I think if I was going to use this I would want to use my nvusd.org account so I can use it with my students. Where are add-ons icons and access stored after you download them? DocAppender: I’m feeling very overwhelmed and very underprepared because I never use google forms, I feel like in order to access the full benefits from this add-on, I would need to be a teacher that uses google forms much more often, and is much more familiar with it, until them, I feel lost playing with this add-on, and reviewing it. Are there tutorial videos somewhere that show you HOW to do this and what the benefits are? Holy crap! I just answered my own question there by watching a 12 minute Youtube video about how to use DocAppender, and now I think I might be even more confused...Can I apply DocAppender today to a google form that I did a year ago, or does DocAppender need to be a current add-on when I set up a new google form that I’m going to use? How can I use this in a high school math class? formLimiter: Again, I watched a video about how formLimiter works, and it does seem like a functional asset for google forms, but two things: I don’t use google forms enough, and I can’t imagine how I would use it for high school math. I did download the add-ons Flubaroo, g(Math), and Super Quiz, which I would like to use sometime in the near future with my students. Flubaroo and Super Quiz are both ways of giving assessments through google forms and then they help you analyze and organize your data afterwards, they both instantly grade your (simple) quizzes for you and show you all the answer responses. g(Math) looked like a pretty cool add-on especially for math, it allows both the google form creator and participant to use “equation editor” type functions on a google form, to use exponents, subscript, rational function lines, etc., to make the math look more appropriate.

Blog about the following thoughts: What has been or now is your experience with Google Forms? Is it intuitive? What challenges did you encounter when building your form? Do you think this tool would be beneficial for your teaching practice?
I’ve used Google Forms only about 3 times. The first two times were to ask a pre- and post-survey for my research paper for EDU 790. I was able to successfully figure out how to post open ended questions, and quantitative questions allowing students to answer questions on a scale of 1-5. The only other time I used it was for asking another class a couple questions. I did think it was pretty easy to use, it didn’t take me too long to figure out how to make new pages, and how to write the different styles of questions. In my experience, GF is kind of limiting in the types of questions that you can ask. I found that I wanted to ask questions that had more option styles for answering. I also wish it had multiple ways to represent answers besides just the bar graphs that I found. I definitely think this tool would be beneficial for my teaching. When I wrote my paper last summer, my final recommendation was that teachers ask students often either with exit tickets, or GFs. Examples of this would be to find out what types of activities students found the most engaging. Recently, before this semester even started, I was reflecting that I need to do this more often. I will need to play around with this, to see if there are other ways to ask questions on GF. |
