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.

Like you, Joe, I resonate with your Google Form's experience, especially in terms of how I've used it. In my case, I've used Google Forms only twice; both times, it was fairly easy to create/navigate. I like the idea of using it as an exit ticket, but our school does not yet have 1:1 device-to-student ratio, which is an obstacle for student use unless I have half my students complete the exit ticket one day while the other half does it the next day. Hey, I just came up with that solution ... might have to try this now! Thanks, Joe, for sharing your insight and opening up mine!
