BP15_20091204_Web2.0Tool#2

This is a google form. It can be found under your Google docs pull down window as a form. It is on your Gmail or Google page. This form has many uses. The latest impressive function is the ability to create and score tests. Here is a example and how to.What To Do

1. Enter Their Last Name/First Name in the Form on the Right
2. Grade the Paper
I read through the paper and type detailed comments in the margins, bold & underline awkward words, phrases etc. As I read, I can grade the student using the form on the right.
3. Click Submit
Once you’re done grading the paper and you’ve checked all of your boxes, submit the form.
4. Grab Grades from Spreadsheet
Something I didn’t mention about the setup is that you should open the spreadsheet the form dumps data into in another tab. Keep that open throughout the grading process. When you submit a form for a student, click over to the spreadsheet. Grab student’s numerical grade and type it into a comment box at the end of the student’s paper.
(NOTE: The first time you click over, you’ll have to insert a column and program that column to calculate the student’s full grade. I set mine up to the left of the student name column.)
5. Rinse and Repeat
Open the next student paper. It should be sized just right. Click back to the tab in Firefox with the form. Refresh to start a new form. You’ll notice that I have a bookmark button for the form in the top left. It makes quick work of opening a new form. This was created by http://www.andrewcullison.com/2009/10/grade-student-papers-using-google-forms/. I am excited about this new resource and I will try it after the Christmas break.
