Activity 8: Assessment Part 2

While I used Google Forms a few times last year, I made them pretty basic with just several different types of questions. I had never made a form with more than one page, nor with a video. Perhaps now that I know these features exist, and more importantly- how to use them, I can utilize them in forms I do this upcoming school year.

As for Flubaroo -- LOVE IT!!! (x 1,000)  How my life would have been changed last year had I known the power of Flubaroo! One of the reasons I gave up using Google forms last year was because it was hard, and very time consuming, to grade and give feedback to students/the class about their work.  Now that I realize what Flubaroo can do and how to use it, it will be so much easier to quickly see which of my students understand the material, and which need more guidance - as well as guidance in which specific topics/areas/ideas. It will allow me to get a very clear - and very quick!- picture of where my students are with learning nearly any given concept. I can honestly say Flubaroo is a complete game-changer and has restored my desire to use Google forms in my classroom again.

Prior to this activity, I didn't know even what a branching form was. I can see how branching forms would be wonderful for differentiating instruction within a classroom, allowing students who have shown mastery of the material to continue progressing at a different rate than students who demonstrate a need for more explanation and practice of the same material.  However, creating the branching form was SO time-consuming and frustrating, that I highly doubt that I would ever have enough patience time to actually make and use one within my classroom. I'm glad I had the opportunity to make a branching form, though it very well may be my last one (at least for a while... Never say never!).
