We started the lesson by finishing off the section on definitions. After that, we then went onto look at Google Forms. Google Forms allows us to make questionnaires, surveys, etc. It also summarizes all the information in the questionnaire.
Watch this video to find out more about Google Forms:
Of all the possible applications of this technology, I think the most affordable and effective in an ELT perspective would be:
creating questionnaires and quizzes
Questionnaires are great on a first day of class to help students break the ice on the first day and for the teacher to collect data to use for assessment. Now, the Google forms allows Ss to cooperate in creating questionnaires themselves, in remote, at the same time. How cool is that?
creating tests
Google form can be used to create short quizzes and testing material for your class. As I already mentioned, more than one people can work on the same form at the same time. Now, I'm a fan of peer feedback, so I would consider allowing students to create their own, custom made, class tests. Easy-peasy like a squeezy lemon.
creating surveys
Never has been creating surveys so simple. Google Forms allows you or your students to create ad-hoc surveys for perfectly calibrated speaking activities. A few minutes behind the screens and you have it. The real innovation is the being able to see the statistics in real time. Don't forget to get your students discuss it or write about it though! ;)
