The only time I have used Google Forms in the past was for collecting qualitative data during my action research study. Therefore, I created very simple surveys without using any add-ons that could have assisted me when analyzing the data. After seeing a little bit of the power that these forms have when used and created appropriately in the classroom, I will try my best to take advantage of it.
After looking at the provided resources in our Content section from the ICARE and talking about Google forms in our June 21 session I am really interested in being able to create peer evaluations using Google Forms. When I have done projects in both my Math and AVID class I have students fill out their peer evaluations on paper. Then I find myself scrambling to look through the papers and add up numbers manually. I hope that using Google Forms I can easily create these where not only it can help me but it can help my students be better evaluators. Maybe after getting better at this I can have students evaluate themselves when doing student presentations. In regards to my research/capstone project I still plan to use Google Forms when collecting data. Now that I have more experience I hope that I can create better and useful forms that will generate the best feedback and data I can possibly receive that will help me with my final work for this program. Here are the 3 Google Forms I created this week: Adding/Subtracting Integers 1st Week of NHS Summer Academy Combining Like Terms Assessment

I have done that same thing before regarding feedback on paper. All of a sudden you have 150 papers that you didn't have before, all that need to be added up and scored. I definitely think that as you (and I as well) get better at using Google forms, it is going to help us out quite a bit. There are so many helpful options available, and I am sure we have only seen a limited amount of them. I wish that we had these kinds of tech lessons built into staff meetings at school rather than some of the other stuff that we cover.

Oh I have never thought to do peer evaluations through Google Forms but that is genius! I have the same exact problem with trying to add up the numbers. I also think this allows for a little more privacy since they aren't looking at each other's screens and so this hopefully would allow them to be more truthful. It seems that you are getting a grasp on how to use Google Forms effectively in your classroom, keep playing around with them!

I love using Google forms for feedback. Back in the day when I was a kid, but I'm not a kid anymore, but some days I sit around and wish I was a kid again, I used regular line paper to get student feedback. I even created a rubric on paper for student feedback or student / peer evaluations on group projects on paper. Now, since Google Forms, giving peer evaluations or student feedback is a breeze. I can create multiple choice questions, check box questions, linear questions, or short answer questions and collect the data with ease. It is also great that I can actually read what they wrote rather than trying to decipher what they wrote on a piece of paper. LOL.
