Differentiated Google Forms

What is a Differentiated Google Form?

A differentiated google form allows us to differentiate a form for students, meaning we can send students to different questions and pages of information based on how they answer each question.

Why should you use Google Forms to differentiate instruction?

Why should you use Google Forms to differentiate instruction?

*We are teachers! We want to allow our students to learn at their own pace on their own level.

*Using Google Forms allows students to receive intervention when needed, or enrichment, based off their answers.

*One of the best parts is, NO GRADING! The data for each student will be sent to you.

*Monitor student progress! Students take the assessment, Google Forms grades it, you collect the data!

NO GRADING!

Subjects

This is how you can implement using Google Forms to differentiate...

​

• Reading: Reading comprehension of a previously unseen text. If the students don’t get the right answer, they could be taken back to the “part” of the text (or given a piece of text) to re-read and look to find the correct answer.
• Math: Multiplication/division problems or word problems that build (see example)
• Science: Lab safety quiz
• Social Studies: Geography/Historical Events
• Choice Board-”Choose your own adventure”
• Morning Work
• Pre-Assessment

ALL subjects/content areas can use Google Forms to differentiate instruction!

Step 1:

Give your quiz a title. Put in your first question. Select the correct answer. Be sure to make it required. Make it 1 point.

Step 2:

Click on what looks like an equal sign. This will create a section.

Step 3:

Here is where you’ll put in the ‘reteaching”. Attach the video you want to use for reteaching.

Step 4:

You can either create a new question for the reteaching or use the same question. If you want to use the same question that they previously got wrong, hit the duplicate button and drag it down below the video so that will be the question for that section.

Step 5:

After you’ve created your first section, go back to the first question and hit the 3 little dots on the bottom right. Click on “Go to section based on answer”. You will make all the incorrect answers go back to the second section. The correct answer will move forward to the next section.

Step 6:

You will repeat until you have all your questions.

Tips & Tricks

*Give students a time limit, if a student doesn’t finish, assume they need help with the topic.

*Quickly look at student scores by clicking the “response” tab.

*Use one objective and try not to go over ten questions, as you don’t want to overwhelm the student. This will also give you a quick score that tells you if the student is struggling or not.

*Click the little green box at the top right. This will open a Google Spreadsheet of your data. RIght click on the “score” column and select “sort sheet A-Z”. This will put your scores in order from lowest to highest.

*Copy the names from the Google Sheet in groups according to what they need. Paste the names into a Google Doc with a different assignment for each group.

*Students will then be assigned based on how they scored. The Google Doc should be made up ahead of time, so all you have to do is drop in the names based on their Google Form scores.

*Be sure to “reteach” in a way you haven’t already taught.
