Google Forms are awesome! They provide a quick, straight-forward ways to get feedback from students. Google forms can be used to gather personal data on students, as an exit ticket to check for student understanding, to quickly generate a data table that displays the answers to the questions asked, or in a multitude of other ways. I have used Google Forms in the most basic form, but after this week I learned about add-ons, and other components already embedded within the Google Forms that have enhanced the user experience.
I used, “Advanced Summary by Awesome Tab” for “PERTS Growth Mindset Survey.” This add-on was awesome! This add-on provides pie charts or line graphs (depending on the data collected). It generated pie graphs for my data. They provide more information than what comes in Google Forms originally. I particularly liked how I could scroll over a percentage, and then see the number of students that made up that percentage. I could definitely see myself using this add-on for any time I need to display data (i.e. Capstone Project). I can specifically use this to present my Growth Mindset data. I used “Form Limiter” for “Number Corner Inquiry Questions.” This allows me to do two things. First, I can limit the number of submissions (i.e. I have 34 kids, so I only accept 34 responses). Second, I can set a date and time that the form is due. I really liked the option to have it due by a certain date. All of my other class assignments (digital and on paper), are due by a certain date, so it was great to find an add-on that allowed me to set these same parameters for a Google Form. I also inserted pictures of our classroom Number Corner and Data Collection Chart. This was my first time using this feature, and it was very beneficial. In this survey I was asking my students to create Depth of Knowledge questions based off of our Number Corner, and it was great to be able to drop those images straight into the Google Form. This is definitely something I will continue using in the future. Inquiry is one of the focuses for my Capstone Project, and this is an effective way to share data. For my third Google Form I assigned a, “Getting to Know You” survey. This survey had both checkboxes, and paragraph responses. For my Capstone Project, I am discovering my “End User Profile.” I am in the process of looking at my class as a whole, to narrowing it down to a specific groups of students, or just one individual student. The questions in this survey had students let me know how they learn best, what their favorite class activities are, what motivates them to learn, and more. This type of survey allows me to further understand and relate to my students. I will continue to use Google Forms to help me better understand each child. Overall, it was a successful week for Google Forms in my classroom!
