Yesterday I presented at the MiGoogle Conference in Southfield.  It was great to meet educators from around the state and hear how they used Google Applications in the classroom to enhance student learning.  I attended many sessions myself where I learned about flipping the classroom, using Google Sites for your own online textbook, collaborative work, Google Hangouts, and Google Drive.  I presented at 1:00 pm on Using Google Forms in Practical and Exciting Ways in the Classroom.  Google forms are a great tool to collect data from students and have it conveniently displayed in a spreadsheet.  I can use it to easily assess student understanding of concepts, collect information, as a drop box for assignments, as extra credit, for exit tickets, and more.  What I found recently (so awesome), is the ability for students to take an online quiz and have it grade itself!  It was fun sharing my uses of Google forms and ideas that I use in my classroom with other educators.  I also came home with some great ideas I picked up from others and find such value in conferences such as these where we all can learn from one another!

My next conference will be on November 15th at the Michigan Digital Learning Conference where I will again be presenting about Google Forms, maybe I will see some of you there!
