Create a Quiz Using Google Forms
Here is a tutorial on creating a quiz using Google Forms. One of the nice things about this tool is that you can create a quiz and gain feedback immediately on what students know, how many students got each question correct and even graph the information with the click of a button.
Here are some tips to keep in mind before creating a quiz.
1. Make sure the first question is "student name." Otherwise you won't know who submitted which answers.
2. You can mix question types (multiple choice, short answer, paragraph) but if you have too many types and too many students, the spreadsheet can become difficult to navigate.
3. When embedding the form into a blog, make sure you edit the width to fit within your blog's main column. You can use the same principles of editing the size of a YouTube video for editing the width of a spreadsheet.
