Activity 5: Google Docs Forms and Formative Assessment

Web 2.0 tool: docs.google.com - Excel and Forms

Explanation: This activity allows teachers to create short formative assessments of the material to gain feedback on the holes in learning. Teachers can use the "Form" function to create several different types of questions. The form easily embeds in a wiki for students to access and the results populate on an Excel sheet in Google docs. By simply scrolling, teachers can see a snapshot of the learning that has taken place and the holes that need to be filled.

Example: Click Here is an example of a form created for a professional development session that has been embedded in a Wiki.
