Reflection:

I have never created a Google Form before, but it was easy to figure out. Within a few minutes, I was able to create a simple, professional-looking quiz that my students can take before I teach the unit. This will be very helpful to know what students already understand about a topic so I can focus on what they do not understand yet. I can also use this tool to communicate with parents. I've recently filled one of these forms out for my own children's classrooms to rate their teachers. I didn't know how easy they were to create until now. It is a great tool to collect data. This is also a fun tool I want to expose my students to so they can easily make their own quizzes for the class to take after book report presentations, etc.
