Google Forms

Google provides an array of useful online applications and tools that allow collaborative work and input to be accomplished. These tools are very efficient and helpful for teachers to use to organize their lesson plans and assignments and other important documents they may be in contact each day. One of the awesome tools that Google presents is the Google Forms application. Google forms allows us to collect data and organize it to ultimately have a display of the information for the masses to view. For example, a teacher can collect scores from a recent test and enter the data into a spreadsheet and have that information translated onto a circle, bar, and/or line graph, etc. Students could then access the same information by going onto the public site and view the results.
This tool can assist with the organization aspect of a classroom by providing information for students and teachers that can be accessed from school and outside of school and even minimizes paper waste.
My group had the opportunity to present this information in front of the class by having our colleagues watch the process of how to create a form from scratch. Due to some time constraints of the flow of the class, we had to cut our presentation a little short, and I had yet to say my piece of the presentation. My portion of the presentation was going to cover the applications of the Google Form for teachers in the classroom. Teachers can use Google Forms to create quizzes, tests, and assignments for students to complete and turn in digitally while the program compiles all the information almost simultaneously. Also, I contributed to the group by creating a document to collect all of my group members' thoughts and a brief summary of the reflections on the activity.
