Survey monkey and Google Form

Was looking at how to create a quiz which can assign points to the options instead of just points to the question.

Survey monkey could do the job but the free version only allowed 10 questions and there were 20 questions for the quiz. Another shortcoming is that the respondent can only see the score for each question and not the total score. https://www.surveymonkey.com/ The user interface is simple as shown below.



As mentioned in my earlier post I really love the Google suite - esp Google Form. However at first check, most of the sources on the web mentioned that points can only be assigned to the question and not the individual option in the question. Decided to try out the multiple choice grid which was new but was stuck cos though points can be assigned to the options (row), I could not uncheck the option when I have click on the wrong option. Eventually I used Checkbox Grid which did the trick!

However I still have some issue with the total score e.g. for the quiz it should be ___/60 but it became ___/120 cos it added up the score of all options. But not a big issue as respondent can be told that the actual score is over 60.

Change the form to a quiz under setting.

Then add the questions and select the question type as Checkbox Grid

I must say that the new feature on the option of question type checkbox grid and multiple choice grid would be extremely useful for the EL teachers e.g. for a quiz on parts of speech as shown below.

Maths in your hand

Not a maths teacher but must applaud this sharing by Yijie on how the learning can be made fun. Who would think of integrating Google drawing with the use of one's own palm to learn exponential curve and logarithmic curve. His blog also has many more interesting ideas in Maths.

Showbie

Saw the SS teachers using the Showbie app to mark the students' script - very interesting use of the ipad by the teacher. Students complete their assignment and upload the picture of it to showbie and the teacher can mark it online - no need to carry the bulk of papers and ability to do the marking and share with the students to highlight common errors etc. The digitised marked copy also make it possible to retrieve it easily anywhere, anytime for revision.

Geogebra

Interesting sharing by Vincent Wei Sern Lew on the use of dynamic mathematics and geometry software, in particular in using Geogebra.

The tutorials are easy and intuitive enough for students to learn without taking up too much of curriculum time as the students can explore after the teacher demonstrate the use.

Google form, Google Sheet and QR codes amazing race

Created an amazing race style "Geohunt" using Google form and QR codes.

 

Using Google form, I made use of the setting to go to different sections according to the option chosen to enable the groups to start off their race at different stations. By setting it as a quiz, points can be awarded to the correct answer at the stations. The total points will be calculated and shown immediately after the student submit the form.

In the edit mode, create the number of sections e.g. I have 20 stations and plus the home page which they select their group, so I created 21 sections. For sections which the questions are similar e.g. the measurements for weather, I simply duplicated them and change the station number. I could also reorder them by clicking on move section.

To add question in the section just click on the plus(+)icon. You can also insert picture or video.

As shown in the picture below, set the question on whether to proceed to the next station as required. Then click on the : (next to required), which is the setting, and click on "Go to section based on answer".

The picture below shows the options of being able to direct them to different sections based on option they have chosen, in this case their group number,  as shown on the edit mode. However when the students access it, they will not see "go to section..."

The picture below shows what the student will see when they access the form. They just need to click on their group and then click on next. They will automatically be directed to the station assigned.

For e.g. when group 20 click on group 20 and then next, it will proceed to the section on station 20.

And when they have completed the task at station 20, the group will click on "Go to the next station" and they will be directed to station 1. So they will just proceed until they reach station 19 then they will choose the option "completed - submit form“ and all their responses will be captured.

I have a total of close to 100 students and did not have enough weather tracker for each group. Initial plan was to get the students to take turn to go to the five stations which the teacher will pass them the weather tracker at the station. But that would mean 4 groups or 20 students at a station which will be too crowded.

That's why I need to create the other 15 stations with QR code in which they will scan and get info to answer the question in the Google form so that they are all spread out in the 20 stations in the school. As I have set it as a quiz, points are automatically given and total up for the race.

You will need to set the question as required so that the students will choose the option to proceed to next station or if they have completed the 20 stations, they can click on "completed - submit form"

Once they choose the option to submit form after completing the 20 stations, they will be directed to this page to submit.

On the edit mode I can collate their responses using the CSV file. They will then use the data to create graphs and analyse their findings.

As introduced by Pierre in the sg learning designer circle, the Google form can be used to create customised quizzes which the students can be directed to another question/story line (section) based on their response. The Google form can be used to create a "Choose your adventure" story. Great for English and even Science.

You can check out how to create the quiz by watching the video below. Hopefully this inspires you to create a personalised quiz for your students to match their abilities. 

My other post on the use of QR codes - http://ezitnew.blogspot.sg/2015/11/qr-codes.html

The Google form accessed by the students:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd6-5Mmi3im7WATgCSzUK8VWhvFVnLmWpdnlaF6mDHL7EyObg/viewform

One main advantage of using Google form is that all the responses are collated on a csv file which can then be converted to a spreadsheet which the students can share the data collated - part of collaborative learning.https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1w7Mktt6AGOF4RPf0s_rj3TX1p75TmG50CBV-Nw_SzhQ/edit?usp=sharing

The students can also insert chart to represent the data - e.g. scatter graph and comparative line graph using the data extracted.https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fbHMvcHbsGHccQh38W7XZl7Sy8yF0EibqM18ZDkumC8/edit?usp=sharing

Classtools.net

I have always like the classtools.net
For classification I have used dustbin.
For choosing the students I have the random name picker tool and fruit machine.
https://www.classtools.net/random-name-picker/ most useful and the students get really excited seeing their names picked. Just select the whole list from your excel or doc, copy and paste!  You can even save it and create bookmark on your browser.
Tried out the 3D Gallery as plate tectonics

Liveboard

Sharing on Liveboard with my colleagues today



 Liveboard 24 april 2018 from Lily Lee  (ignore the sharing session code shown - it has ended)

Forgot to share that they can switch off the audio in setting. I hope they are reading this. 😁

As I share, I learn.

Learned from my colleague there is a similar app - Explain everything - might explore that.

Some hiccups in the sharing which probably needs to feedback to app developer

1. Some cannot login - it says profile not found. student will get discouraged when cannot login
2. Some of the drawing (annotation) are not visible on the other ipad (host) - not captured in the recording as well
3. though sharing can be done on browser, recording function not visible.

Good points:
3. That with ipads - sharing the recordings or drawing is easy with airdrop
4. I could collect the recordings from the different group of teachers - it can be saved for future reference.

Kahoot Challenge

Another new feature on Kahoot is that you can assign it as homework. Students can play the challenges in their own time and get instant feedback. 
However the students can only run it on the kahoot app so they need to download it.

You can share the link and pin in the Google classroom, via email or even WhatsApp. I normally give them a 3 day window for the challenge. You can then get the results by clicking on the Kahoot you have assigned as homework and then click on the challenge followed by the leadership board. Make sure you are signed in to your account.

Click on the top menu on questions to see the results of individual question.

What I like most is that by analysing the results, I could see the questions which the students are weakest in and I could then clarify in class e.g. students are still weak in wave refraction and impacts on headland and bay.

I was rather surprised that there are students who cannot identify a sea arch. This is definitely something which the challenge help me to see parts which I have assumed that the students already knew.

Again my reservation on using this is that no all have smart phone which they need to download the app. But overtime as smartphone or even iPad are available to all, this should not be an issue then.

You can read all my posts on Kahoot : http://ezitnew.blogspot.sg/search/label/kahoot

Feed2go and Google Form

Had been using Google Form to carry out surveys which forms part of geographical investigation. Google Form is also good for collating responses. However there is a need to be connected to the internet in order to use Google Form to collect data. The android app is known as G-form for the Google Forms.

Feed2go is available in apple store ( was hoping to see it in playstore for android) and I must say it is very user friendly with the ability to enter the data offline and upload once there is internet connection.

You can chose the type of question to create - liket scale or closed questions with option

 You can also choose open-ended questions with the choice of 1 line answer or longer text.

 You can change the page layout in the setting from the top menu.

Once the questionnaire is completed, you can start the survey. This is what you will see on the screen - just press start and click on start.

Just fill up the responses and then it will go a page similar to the above where you can click on start to enter the responses from the 2nd respondent. Click on Finished once all the surveys are completed.

You can click on results to see the collated responses.

 You can also email the responses in csv format - in which the responses captured by different groups can be collated by the team leader in Microsoft excel. Using Microsoft excel the results can be presented by inserting charts as well.



https://www.google.com/forms/about/ or using the G-form app

My colleague, Elisabeth, introduced me to the quiz function of Google form. Will explore that soon. Another teacher in the sg learning designer circle, Pierre , mentioned that there is a feature where you can design for a differentiated task also. For example, you have seen in some surveys, if you answer Q1, you will be directed to questions Q3. And if you answer Q2, you will be directed to Q4. This allows you to possibly design your quiz to help "direct" students who are weaker to a different set of questions. Would really love to try out and reflect on the blog soon.
