google apps Google Forms forms online data collection

shared by Andrew Williamson on 05 Sep 09 - Cached

For your weekly spelling test use simple 1-10 or 1-20 numbered form (with a name question too of course) and ask the children to type in their answers as you read out the list of words. Once these are submitted apply formula to judge if they are correct or not and it becomes self marking.

  If we had a 1:1 program and we used Google forms our data collection and analysis would become very efficient.

Another useful post by one of my favourite Edubloggers. This guy just keeps on keeping on! This post is about google forms and how they can be used in the classroom. I used Google forms to create the staff survey on the 1:1 program. Imagine the students using this for the end of the week spelling test or maths diagnostics or any of these data collecting excersises completed using google forms and then instantly sent to a spread sheet.

Really, there are so many apps available it can be hard to know where to begin and once you find something that looks useful, it's difficult to assess it properly until you've download and installed it on your iPad. iPad music apps that are free can take away the risk of choosing a dud and they can be useful when book-listing apps for students on a tight budget.

I was even more intrigued when he made reference to the work of Bernard Suits that claims there are three constituent parts that make up games: To play a game is to attempt to achieve a specific state of affairs [prelusory goal], using only means permitted by rules [lusory means], where the rules prohibit use of more efficient in favour of less efficient means [constitutive rules], and where the rules are accepted just because they make possible such activity [lusory attitude].

  Kristen and Khamal. I think that this could be very useful. If not gives you a few ideas on how to create an Audio book. There are even some reading comprehension for upper primary. We could just subscribe via a school itunes library and have it access by all the new macbooks in the class room. You could use one macbook as sort of a listening post.

Everyone should be using dropbox. Its the best way to back up your important data. No excuses for loosing your soooooo important Literacy and numeracy data now ;-) From a student point of view... Most should and would be using google docs for any finished work but because they have an email account they might want to set a drop box account up to save any personal data etc

Lots of good Internet based games: e.g Algebra puzzles which could be used to form the basis for a lesson or also could be used as an intro warm up or early finishers activity. Most activities would suit upper primary, however some extension students would benefit from playing the games. Has a good selection of logic games e.g. factory balls and popular games, such as battleships. Has a good selection of instructional maths videos, which look very useful.
