    Examples from GCT Sallie Hill
     Example from GCT Thomas Cooper
    • Vernal Ponds project uses Google Docs. Students collect data on the vernal
      ponds around their school over a period of time, and then use Google forms
      and spreadsheets to upload and share the data between student groups, and
      then docs to collaboratively create data charts and write reports.

    Example from GCT Nic Finnelli
    • A first-year teacher at one of my elementary schools has just jumped on
      board with Google Docs and is trying this with her class. Students in
      specific reading groups are to read their chosen WWII historical fiction
      book (each group was given a different choice of books within their reading
      level), work together to make a presentation about the book. They are to
      include the following: book title and author, short summary of the text,at
      least one multimedia file (video, pictures, audio, etc.), what you
      learned about World War II when reading the text, whether or not you would
      recommend this book to others and why
      She just started this on Monday, but it is neat to see things in action and
      the process. This is definitely a work in progress.

    Using Google Forms for Peer-Assessment (For Frequent Assessment with Immediate Feedback)

    Example from GCT Katie Morrow
    • Providing authentic assessment in project based classrooms is challenging. Google forms has allowed for the self and peer evaluation process to be much smoother, faster to tabulate, and has provided much more authentic feedback to all students involved in the learning projects. In addition I have found that when I use a google form for peer assessment, that the students' NEXT projects improve by leaps and bounds as opposed to just receiving feedback from me (it seems the kids listen better to their peers than their teacher!) Here are a couple of examples.
    • First the form is created with the assessment criteria
    • Then the link to the form is shared with students (I personally love how easy it is to embed within an iWeb site). Google Apps for Ed allows me to share with the entire domain at once, also.
    • Students submit their peer and/or self assessments and refresh their page before the next presentation
    • After the results are tabulated in the Google spreadsheet, I sort by student name and add an average formula if I need a numerical grade. The most valuable part, however, is sharing the honest, anonymous feedback with the students who created each project-- either digitally or just printed on paper and cut apart.
