What is Google Forms? Google Forms is a tech tool that can be used to create surveys, invitations, order forms, registrations, quizzes, applications, and much more! It provides you with many templates, layouts, and backgrounds to choose from as well as gives the opportunity to create your own. Furthermore, with Google Forms, you can choose what styles of questions - multiple choice, short answer, extended response, linear scale, etc - will be the most efficient for the assignment or project that you are doing in the classroom. Once the style of question is chosen, you can choose what you wish for the question to say. This is a great tool to implement!
Danielson Framework and Google Forms Recently, I used Google Forms to make a survey for my virtual co-op (seen below) about what her Spanish students would like to do in the future. This survey will allow her to understand her students even better, as well as give her an opportunity to encourage and support them in their future endeavors. With a survey like this, Google Forms can be used to get to know students and invest deeply in their lives which relates to component 1B of the Danielson Framework. However, because of its flexibility, Google Forms can be used to create anything that you would like. With this, Google Forms can be used to relate to any componente of the Danielson Framework.
Using Google Forms in the Future Because of its simplicity and variety of uses, I will be sure to use Google Forms in my future classroom. I believe it can be an especially helpful for the first few weeks of school, using it as a "get to know me" tool. In addition, it could be used for exit tickets, short quizzes over reading material, class votes on an activity, or many other things. Google Forms is an excellent resource that is very easy to use, and something that I will definitely be implementing into my classroom!
