Ideas: Google Forms to Differentiate

• Create an Interest Survey for your Students
• Distribute different quizzes and other assessments
• Choose your own Adventure activities
• “Adaptive Learning” activities
• Build in various learning activities for different learning styles
• Include sections with video, text, links to other resources
• Example: Student gets answer incorrect → Question: “Would you rather watch a video or read?” → Answer leads to video or text.
