Google Forms Assessment Tool

Lesson Title:  Using "Flubaroo"
Objective:
Standard:
Lesson Outline:

1. Using google "forms" create an pre- or post-assessment using only multiple choice questions.  Within these questions be sure to include a text question for the person's name and another for email address so scores can sent to each person following scoring.
2. Once form is complete either post URL on website/Edmodo/blog/etc... or email form directly to people through the "Email this form" or " More Actions" button at the top right side of the screen. Example
3. Complete the form yourself--when filling in your name use "teacher" and mark only the correct answers.  This will be used as the key when you apply Flubaroo.  
4. In your menu options you will select "Flubaroo" when students are finished.
5. A pop-up titled "Flubaroo--Grading step 1" will pop up.  Here you have to decide for each test item you must decide whether it is worth one point, not graded or identifies the student.  Hit continue.
6. During "Flubaroo--step 2" you will be asked to select the "key".  Hit continue.
7. Then grading occurs.

Resources:  

1. Flubaroo:  to download this script you must be in your form you will assess.  Under the "tools" tab at the top select "script gallery".  Next, on the left hand side there is a subheading titled "education".  Flubaroo is the fourth option in the list on the right.

Reflection:


I love that this script also allows for re-scores if needed.  In addition, under the "form" tab you have the option of looking at the answers given in graphical form by selecting "show summary of responses".  Other things to remember, all questions highlighted in orange are those that were answered with 70% or lower accuracy.  This will help to identify area that may need to be covered or covered again.  This seems like it would make more traditional formal assessment much easier.  I can see easily converting my basic tests, worksheets, mini-quizzes, and warm-ups to this thus making grading much more efficient for me--I suppose I could just sit there at the computer and write scores down for the grade book.  Too bad it isn't linked to a grade book for me!
