If you aren't already using Google Forms, you should be. Google Forms is the best thing since sliced beer (or is that canned bread?). Google Forms, while originally thought of as a survey tool or means to gather information, is a great assessment solution. But as an assessment tool, it works great in a 1:1 environment. Here's the rundown on how Forms works:
- Forms allows users to set up an online document that users can fill in.
- Users can add Multiple Choice, True/False, Short Answer, or Essay questions
- All responses are collected and saved (New Forms collects answers in the Responses Tab). Responses can be viewed in a Google Sheet if you'd like.
- Watch this video for more information.
Since Google Forms allows Google Apps for Education Users to restrict who fills out a form, and to automatically collect user names when filled out, it makes Forms a great tool for Assessments. Plus, when you use Google Sheets Add-Ons such as Flubaroo or Super Quiz, all student submissions can be automatically graded for you. See this tutorial on Flubaroo for more information.
Since Google Forms allows teachers to shuffle answer options, and/or shuffle questions, there is less chance of cheating in a proctored environment.
