"Thinking" Enhanced Assessments with Google Forms and Flubaroo

In the state of Virginia we are seeing a big change in the Standards of Learning (SOLs) that are administered via computer to students. Because they are on computer, the technology is there to create more challenging questions that require students to give more than one answer. In order to create these analysis questions and deliver them to students, Google Forms has an option for this. These assessments can also be graded or used as personal study, with the script Flubaroo. So the following video should help you get started creating these forms. Remember, you don't have to invent these questions on your own. Since sharing the creation of a form is possible, you may want to find other teachers willing to add a question or two.

Add a Video Editor to SnagIt

Now that we have a YouTube account you may want to produce videos for a Flipped Learning model or perhaps just to help your students review. In any case, SnagIt is a nice program to capture video but no one is perfect. If you add Windows Live Movie Maker as an output, you'll have a simple editor available before uploading to YouTube.
