True/False Results

For some reason my True/False results are not working. When I look at the summary page it says there are no responses yet for those questions. However in the spreadsheet it shows that they all answered it.

Slope Quiz

I created a 10 question quiz on slope for my Algebra students to take tonight for homework. We have a quiz Monday and this will help me to figure out what I need to focus on during the review tomorrow and it also gives the students a heads up on what to study. What a great tool!

I like Tara's idea of reviewing past material. I need to investigate a little how to insert mathematical symbols, fractions or pictures (for similar figures and geometry).

Awesome Math Assessment

I really loved using this self-grading test.  During my graduate class last weekend, we discussed retention and how we should periodically assess students understanding of previously taught material.  So I used this GoogleDocs self-graded test to assess my enriched students' retention of all marking period 1 material.  The students took the test today (in about 25 minutes) and I got immediate feedback from a 20 question test.  The students were able to see their score immediately.  I also had time to view the summary with the whole class and reteach questions that many students got wrong.  This is a great tool, especially for math!  This test not only identified students who continued to struggle on previous content, but gave me valuable feedback on the types of questions and content that my students were struggling on.  It provides more feedback then I get from a traditional paper and pencil test and it was immediate.  This is such a useful tool for assessment and I plan to incorporate it as often as possible.

Technology - Self Grading Quiz

This is cool stuff. Here is the quiz I created for the 6th Grade Technology class on Hardware and Software. I will probably use it in the next cycle as a pre and post test before a related project.

An Amazing 30 minutes

I gave my students a self-graded quiz on Wednesday using a Google Form. When the students completed the exam and submitted the form I immediately got their answers and grades on the form's spreadsheet. I was able to tell the students their grades as soon as they completed the test.

When all of the students completed the exam, I used the Summary of Responses to show the class how everyone did and we reviewed the questions that students did not do well on. I could easily see what percentage of students didn't know the answer to a question. To download a pdf of the Summary of Responses click here.

This all took place in the span of one 30 minute period! I was psyched! To be able to have the students take the quiz, get their grades and review the answers in the same period enabled the students to get immediate responses and helped me address the questions that students did not answer correctly.

As an educator I felt that my time was not taken up with the grading of tests. I was able to use the data from the test to address student's learning in a timely manner and help them better learn the material.

Self-Grading Test

Setting up a self-grading assessment/test is easy with Google Apps. The three videos below will show you how to do this. If you are in the EisenhowerMS domain you can take the Quiz by going to http://bit.ly/d6WImC I have also shared the results of the quiz in our Google Docs Class Folder.

You may also want to download Chris Clementi's handout which is based on the videos.
