Use Google Forms to Collect Your Students' Digital Work
Many teachers assign work to their students that results in some form of digital product. The following tutorial is one method that could be used to help collect and organize all of this work. The basic concept is to use a single Google Form that has enough questions to allow the teacher to filter the submissions and review the student work in any way the teacher prefers. A significant feature of this method is the automatic time and date stamp added to each student entry so that assignments can have due dates and times outside of the traditional class period. I'd be interested to hear what you think of this process, so please leave a comment.

Very clever!
ReplyDeleteCan you send the form out through the Eschool "email your students link" since their emails are already inputed there or will you have to send it out as a link to the form if you use eschool?
ReplyDeleteLeyden CHSD 212 uses eSchool Plus for their student information system and there is an "email students/guardians" tool built into the teacher access center portal. This can easily be used to share the link to the digital dropbox Google Form. Other ideas for sharing the link would be to add it to your website, blog, wiki, or other web presence.
DeleteI agree... very clever! I would like to know the same thing as Kelly. Can we use that email your students link? That would make it way easier to send forms out to the students.
ReplyDeleteSee my reply above.
DeleteThis is a great idea. What a great use of Google Forms. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI like the clarity of the spreadsheet, but because they have to provide links, I still prefer creating collection folders for each assignment into which students drop their work. Each class has it's own collection (dropbox) into which are collections labelled by assignments and dates assigned. Students then submit their work into these folders. That allows me to see who's done their work that very morning and provides easy intuitive access to the assignments for a clearer grading process.
ReplyDeleteOne drawback though - the student has to give rights to view only to me (assuming they don't want others to see their work). That takes them a few minutes as they have to deny rights to the other students in class, but it's not a deal breaker.
Now if I could just get somebody else to grade them.
I use Google forms for homework and written tests. I have built spreadsheets that also automatically grade homework/test submissions. As soon as a student turns in their assignment they can find out what score they received . The automatic grading is limited to multiple choice and fill in the blank though.
ReplyDeleteAgree with Maxwell...one wish for Google docs is to allow for selection of correct responses during form creation

Check out the Flubaroo script for Google Forms and Spreadsheets. I blogged about this a while back http://goo.gl/RlIq7.
DeleteI really like the idea of the assignment drop box. It looks like a great way to stay organized all in one place. Thanks!
