Basic Tutorials

You'll need these tutorials to create "B" level work on your Assessment Technology project. They take you from starting a new Form all the way through adding collaborators, teaching the Form to correct itself, and making multiple copies for differentiation purposes.

Creating a Form, Titling, and Heading Image

This is where your Forms journey begins! Go from the humble trappings of an overflowing inbox to the starting of a beautiful Forms digital assessment. 

Adding Questions

Watch the video to the right to see how to add questions to your Form. While short answer, multiple choice, and checkboxes are included, the process of adding questions is the same for all other types of questions as well.

Adding Collaborators

For me to see all the inner workings of your Forms, and to get you the best possible grade, you'll need to add me as a collaborator. It's not a hard process, until it's fifteen minutes before the project is due and you realize you don't know how to do it. Watch the video to the right if you don't remember our practice together in class.

Making a Quiz & Answer Key

The biggest reason to use digital assessments is because they grade themselves. That offers students immediate feedback. It offers teachers a change to analyze "big picture" data and not waste their time on the minutia of checking off each multiple choice answer or feeding them through a scan-tron machine. Watch the video to the right to see how to turn your Form into a quiz, and teach it to grade itself.

Making Copies of a Form to Differentiate

To make three differentiated copies of the same Form is not hard, and the video to the right shows you exactly how to succeed. There are a few tips and tricks I've picked up over the years of using Forms to differentiate that will end up reflecting whether your project scores a "B" or an "A", so watching is recommended.

Basic Differentiation Methods

Images, answer options, question type, and scoring. The four pillars of Forms differentiation. You should include all four types if you hope to succeed (and if you hope to have something to say in your commentary.

Advanced Tutorials

Looking to be published on my website? You'll want to use some of these advanced features of Forms because they REALLY take differentiation to the next level. Peruse below and see which options would fit with the subgroups you chose.

Adding Sections and Section Management

Adding sections can allow you to manipulate how many questions students see at a time, and at an advanced level, can allow you to drive students movement through your Form based on their multiple choice responses.

YouTube vs. Title and Text

Controlling how students receive information is a huge way to manage how difficult an assignment is. Videos are easy, text is hard. Including text for some students, and swapping to a Youtube video or infographic for other students based on their needs is going to be a huge way to differentiate.
