Google Forms + Flubaroo = Self - Grading Quiz!
- Self-grading tests. Flubaroo is an awesome Add-on that makes forms into self-grading tests/quizzes! Flubaroo offers a user-friendly step by-step tutorial. To try it out, just click here.
- Information gathering like parent contacts: Create a form that parents can access via the school's site or your classroom google site to fill in their contact information. It's quick and private, and you can require that the form gather the email of anyone filling out the form so you automatically have one point of contact! It's also great for parent involvement coordinators to use for community questionnaires and feedback.
- Whole school or departmental surveys are a great way to use forms! Administration can use it for informal walk-thrus and feedback on professional development. It can even be used to gain statistical information on where your staff is on their understanding of educational practices like FIP, TKES, etc.
