Google Form Ideas

In May, we learned how to create a Google Form in Teacher Tech Friday Training. If you go to the Teacher Website you will find a form we all made as an "End of the Year Survey" for our students, to help us learn what they enjoyed learning and doing in their class. There is also a link on the Teacher Website post under the How To's May training to Google's help to create a new form.

I used the form idea with my students in Beginning High to make a report about what food they ate over one week. First they tracked their foods in a report I printed off from MyPlate.gov.

Here's the link to the report MyPlate Menu Plan Report  I asked the students to put it on their refrigerator to help them remember to fill in the foods they ate.

After a week, the students brought in their reports. I created this Google form for them to input the information, as in a survey. I gave them the link to the form in an email, using ASAP email. I asked them to get out their phones and go to the email I sent them. The students clicked on the link and started inputting the food they ate each day. Then they pressed submit when finished. It took them about 20 minutes. Then we looked at the results, which was quite fun! The students really enjoyed seeing all their answers on the big screen in bright colors.

The last question asked what they would change to eat more healthy. Here's their answers:

I will try eat more healthy food.

Eating less

l will not eat too much sweets, l will decrease smoking as l can and l will eat too much vegetables.

Maybe I need to prepare my food with less oil and salt.

I will make my list of meals every month

I want to drink more water

I eat more fruits.

I don’t need change my eating habits.

I don't need change

I will ate mor healthy

Quizlet is a Fun Vocabulary Learning Tool!

In April we learned how to create flashcards in Quizlet. This is a good tool for students to practice vocabulary. Here is a set I made to teach my Beginning High students pharmacy vocabulary.
Pharmacy Vocabulary in Quizlet
My students practiced the words on computers during classtime. They were also able to practice the words on their phones. I added pictures for most of the words and I clicked on the pronunciation, so the students could hear the words, too. I have also used this tool with the spelling/academic vocabulary words I give the students, when we are studying a new unit.
Go to the website under the How to's Tab to find a link to easy instructions.
