Google Forms are an excellent tool to use for formative assessments. Good formative assessment allows you to be quickly responsive to students’ learning needs, and Google Forms gives you the data from your students instantly after they click submit. Since all of the student data from the assessment is collected into one spreadsheet, it is easy to quickly get a snapshot of how your students are understanding the skills and concepts you were assessing. You can then use that information to adjust your lessons, plan for reteaching, etc. If you would like to get started using Google Forms to create formative assessments, sign up for this free, self-paced, online course.
