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 Gridwhich 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.
Changethe 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.
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.
Excited to learn about jigsawplanet.com from SG learning designers circle and how it can be embedded into Google site for use with digital escape room.
Once a particular message or clue such as the puzzle is solved, a code can be revealed using Google form as used by some teachers to create digital escape room. An escape room or digital break out template https://sites.google.com/view/digitalbreakouttemplate Some examples of the digital escape room by the SG designers circle community shown below
Latest CL escape room by Ai Lian using Quizzes She told her class they were trapped in Food delicacies/ Fruits land and the top few in Quizizz will get a chance to enter the passwords to the lock and help the class escape. To enter the passwords, they are to solve more word riddles as a class. Inside the box, items relating to the next chapter will be revealed (she made use of mooncake boxes since it was Mid auntumn recently.) https://quizizz.com/admin/quiz/5b8e40e2316cda001900a2ab/p1-chp-15- https://quizizz.com/admin/quiz/5b8f9eadb6a17c001901878d/p1-chp-16-
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.
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.
Consider pedagogy of using AR to create learning experiences and using AR to help students link abstract algebra and functions to real world geometry and motion geometry
You will need to download 2 apps
ARCore by Google
Geogebra 3D graphing calculator
Earthshots: This website is very exciting. It shows satellite images of the earth's surface and compares them to previous years . This allows people to see how Earth surface changes overtime.
You can see how Singapore has changed overtime clicking on the red marker over Singapore on the map.

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.
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
Recently one teacher shared on using
The arcade game. Looks fun too!
