I found Forms a pretty easy program to use, although it was slightly more confusing that some of the other programs we have used. I found it really easy to create the quiz and email it to people, but I found it difficult to make the quiz self-grading. I am afraid I don't have enough of an understanding of spreadsheets to make all of the formulas work! After asking Dr. Krug, I was able to figure it out, and it certainly is useful. I will just have to write down the formulas so I don't forget.
I looked at a middle school lesson plan on human dimensions. It required students to collect data on human dimensions and enter the information into a form in order to complete the data set quickly. The lesson plan was interesting in that it did not require students to create a form, but it asked them to analyze and manipulate the data collected in the form. I thought this was a great collaborative way to collect the information quickly, but it also didn't use up a lot of class time on students trying to figure out how to make a form.
Good comments.
