Beginning of the Year Survey (using Google Forms)

 I enjoyed using Google Forms to create this Beginning of the Year Survey because it allowed me to see all the features of Google Forms. I could see myself using Google Forms to make a beginning of the year survey for my students' parents. It would save me the time of making a get to know you form, making copies, and waiting for the students to bring it back. I know from personal experience that some parents never send these forms back. Having parents fill out this survey online would spare me from having to make copies and waiting for students to bring papers back.
  Since Google forms sends you a spread sheet of the responses given by those who answer the form I could see myself using this app to make pre and post assessments. This would help save paper and would save me the time of having to record all the of the students scores into an excel spreadsheet. Google forms would also make creating rubrics much easier. I could create the rubric and post it to my blog, wiki, etc. so that my students can see it. This way they always know what is expected of them and their parents can also check to see what the criteria for a paper and/or assignment is. There seems to be a lot that can be done with Google Forms and I know that I have not even begun to scratch the surface. I look forward to discovering new and innovative ways that I can integrate Google forms into my "teacher tool box."
