Blog: What has been or now is your experience with Google Forms? Is it intuitive? What challenges did you encounter when building your form? Do you think this tool would be beneficial for your teaching practice?
My experience with Google Forms has been minimal; so far, I have used it to obtain feedback/collect data from my 4th grade students, which means they could respond to the GF when they had an opportunity within a week to be on a computer (desktop or laptop). Because our school does not yet have 1:1 device:student availability, I realize I would have to be innovative in determining how to utilize GF on a regular basis, or at least more often -- like as an exit ticket at the end of class. (By the way, because of my response to Master Madigan's blog, I now realize I can have half of my students complete an exit ticket on one day while the other half completes it the next day; thereby, creating a rotation of responses.) Google Forms was intuitive as I created my questions because it automatically changed the possible response from "short answer" to "long answer/paragraph" and/or determining if a "multiple choice" answer might be a better fit to my question. Based on my limited usage of GF, I did not encounter any challenges when building my forms. Also, the data/feedback I collected were mostly opened-ended answers, so I have not yet learned how to create graphs using the GF data. This tool would be beneficial for my teaching practice, expecially now that I've been reminded by fellow Cohort 10 members' great ideas in their blogs. For example, Jenny Knox's blog shares the many ways she found it can be used. Because I currently teach 4th graders while she teaches 5th graders, the potential GF uses she mentions are approaches I can utilize with my students. Thank you, Jenny!

I think there are some wonderful possibilities for using google forms in the classroom. I love the ideas Jenny listed in her blog and am inspired to try some of them. I agree that 1:1 devices would definitely make it easier, but being innovative educators we'll figure it out....right!!
