Description: These can be used by anyone who has access to google, (which is most likely everyone)! Google docs is the same thing as Microsoft word document, it allows you to type on a blank page. The forms are used for teachers to create quizzes or surveys. Anyone can access these but creating a google account and choosing it under the main menu in google, as shown below: this is how you access the document or form in google (google image)
Self-Assessment: I liked learning about these because it is a way to access word documents without the pricey cost that the Microsoft package costs. Additionally, it is a cool way to create quizzes and surveys that can allow the teacher or whomever created it to gather and organize the data into a spreadsheet!
Educational Setting: These could be used in a classroom for after reading a story with the students, the teacher can create a form and they could fill it out. This could be used as an assessment to see how well the students retained information from the story. Additionally, the google docs can be used to create powerpoints that will engage the students. You can even create a jeopardy powerpoint on google docs! Another activity you could do, is put students in groups and assign them a topic to survey. They could create a google form to survey their peers and gather data on their topic. This gives students a number of ways to gather their data, they can use multiple choice questions, fill in the blank, or essay questions- fitting in with the UDL approach. This fits under the NETS-S standards under Research and Information Fluency, because teachers and students are using multiple digital tools to gather and evaluate research. here is an example of what a form looks like (google image)
