  1. How well are your students really doing the activity? • Alan Pollock, Information Commons, ADWC • Email: apollock@hct.ac.ae

  2. Scenario 1 Multiple choice questions Step 1 You give your students a text to read and you have a set of multiple choice questions for them to answer.

  3. Scenario 1 Step 2 You create a Google Form to give you the feedback from your students and send them the link.

  4. Scenario 1 Step 3 You display this form in spreadsheet view and give appropriate feedback. You can hide the student names. There is no guesswork as to how well the class has performed – you know it the second the last student has submitted their form.

  5. Scenario 2 Text answers Steps 1, 2 and 4 are the same as for scenario 1 In this scenario students need to identify the main ideas and 3 supporting ideas

  6. Scenario 2 Text answers Steps 1, 2 and 4 are the same as for scenario 1 Here is the form they write their answers in.

  7. Scenario 2 Text answers Steps 1, 2 and 4 are the same as for scenario 1 Here is the spreadsheet which you can immediately display on the board to provide feedback to the class. For class feedback, you can push the column for names off the screen so as not to show individual names.

  8. Types of questions in Google Forms – first 4 Radio buttons – select one. Scale buttons – horizontal Drop down box Multiple select

  9. Types of questions in Google Forms – the rest 5. Text entry 6. Matrix style 7. There is also a paragraph entry question box available – not shown here, that allows more text than the text in question 5.

  10. Conclusion Pros: A very efficient way of finding out what your students are really doing. No need for students to log in. They just access the form, complete and submit. You can provide feedback to the class and individuals that is timely and targeted. Can be used to check homework – unlike Socrative which only works while the students and teachers are together. Can be extended to include images and charts – could be an ideal way to set IELTS Writing Task 1 work. Works across platforms – Mac, iPad, PC and Linux. Cons Needs an internet connection. But this is a given with almost any iPad app. Need to provide a new link for each task. Here, a website like kl1p.com is excellent for sharing links without any signing up and logging in.
