After reviewing Richard Byrne’s blog I feel like I found some useful material. I found a link on his favorite resources page that fits right into the next step in this blog. I currently use Google Docs so my students can review classroom material from their homes. I have a pretty good understanding of how they work, what benefits they have, and their limitations. In the past, I have made a couple simple Google Forms, but I haven’t used them in my classroom. I was excited to fine a link titled “How to Create Self-Graded Quizzes in Google Docs”. The link included a how to video and a couple examples of questions and responses. I feel that after some practice and patients, I can utilize this technology in my classroom to check for understanding and give faster feedback to the students. I will continue to visit Mr. Byrne’s blog, as it seems it is constantly updated with new, useful information.
That is a great tip to take away from his website. Google Forms + Flubaroo is a winner! I also blogged about it at http://technologytools4teaching.blogspot.com/2011/10/flubaroo-google-forms-homerun.html
ReplyDeleteIt is easy to get that scrip on your spreadsheet and Docs does the rest of the work for you!
I am happy that you will continue to visit his blog for new ideas, links, and information.
