Check it out Google Form Add On


I was recently watching a video from Richard Byrne who I follow on YouTube and on his blog Free Tech for Teachers. The video was how to setup a Google Form for a check in and check out system.

The first thing I thought of was classroom libraries and departmental equipment.  No more, who has that book, where are the ipads, or who borrowed the PE equipment.  Now you have a very easy check out/in system you can post to your website.

Using a Google Form add on called Check it out, allows teachers to create a very simple form and system for students and teachers to check out and check in items.  Take a look at this video it explains it very clearly and is less than 5 minutes.

Student Late Work Form Submission - Google Forms


On Tuesday, September 6th, Tera Pendleton a NCHS Business Education Teacher, talked about the form she makes the kids fill out if they have submitted late work.  Since she doesn't visit those assignments in Google Classroom after they have been check, she directs the student to fill out a Late Work Submission Form through Google Forms. Once a week on Thursday's, Tera goes through the submissions and reviews late student work.   

This process is geared for student accountability.  They fill in their names, class hour of assignment, assignment name and WHY it is late.   Thanks for sharing Tera.
