Reflection 9: Got Time to Take a Survey, or Play a Game

For my one my last assignments in EDIT 4300 with Kimberly Rubal I made a digital survey, and created a quiz game using Google Forms, and Kahoot. 

For my survey I used Google Forms, which is really good tool to use for surveys, student assignments and quizzes. I use Google Forms frequently in the classes I teach. I use them for article reviews, where I provide students a form with preset questions and they look for an article to review on Dezeen.com, Mashable.com, or Wired.com. I also use Google Forms in my Web Design class for students to answer preset questions about various websites I have them critique - last website they critiqued was MLB.com.

Google forms are great for assignments where there are definitive answers for the questions asked because points can be applied to each question, and Google Classroom will tally the points up as well as post to Google classroom when they imported. When done right, teachers do not even have to grade the quiz assignments because Google has already done that for the teacher.

The other online resource I used is Kahoot to gamify a basic Graphic Design quiz. This application allows students to compete against each other, and get points for correct answers. Although it's fun to use, I really do not use it very much. It seems clunky, and also seems to target a younger audience. I have used Kahoot in class before, but to get the most out of it you have to pay for it, and I really do not use it enough to justify purchasing the application. 

Here is the Google form I made for class.
