Here’s two very unrelated Google Forms: one about converting units of measurements and one about exploring geology.

How can it be used in the classroom?
Google Forms can be a great tool to help students with self-guided work and new technology. It’s also good for easy grading and feedback. I recently did a very short unit with 1st-3rd graders on geology and we covered all the topics mentioned in my branching form. While this might be too advanced for the 1st graders, it would’ve been awesome to have the older students use this form as a brief introduction to a topic of their choice. It also would’ve given me feedback to see which topics students were most interested in so I could have figured out what I wanted to spend most time on. Google Forms is also a great tool for exit tickets. I like to have a math “cool down” every day that allows me to see how much they got from the lesson and I think this would be a quick and easy way to get formative assessment results. Also, the instant feedback from a self-graded quiz will give students more time to ask me questions and get more individualized feedback based on their results.

Rachel, good demos of G forms. I think your write up speaks to the many ways they can be useful in the classroom.
