Google Forms Presentation Rubric

This idea comes from working with Kathy Laney at Hicksville. We were looking at how to convert a paper form presentation rubric and came up with the idea of using a google form and submitting a record each time the student does a presentation. The results are tabulated in a spreadsheet

Here is a link to make a copy of the Form

Once you have the copy of the form in your drive you will need to open it and click on the responses tab and create a new spreadsheet to hold your results. (click the Green icon)

You will notice that the questions from the form correspond to columns in the spreadsheet. Each question has one answer (a checkbox) with the value X. Checking a box will result in an X in that column in the spreadsheet which makes it easy to see at a glance who has been assessed and what they scored.

To customize you can delete the demo students and add your own by editing the first question.

Intermediate Tip: You can populate this using a Forms add-in called Form Ranger. It will pull in values from a spreadsheet and populate your dropdown menu automatically.

Make a new sheet in your results spreadsheet (see above) and add your student names to the spreadsheet. For convenience you can combine the First Name and Last Name using a calculation (concatenation) and when you fire up Form Ranger you can create a dynamic popup menu based on that column in the spreadsheet.

Use the Add-ons menu to add Form Ranger to your spreadsheet.

Relax: You're in Complete Control!

Well, you may not rule the world but you are in absolute control of the content in your Google account. You can copy the content in your account to use elsewhere or use the archive tool as a simple backup. This works great if you want to backup your YouTube videos or a specific folder in g Drive.

What the SHEETS?!?

When creating a new Google Sheet, by default, it will have one sheet tab at the bottom of the page. The program is designed so that you can have a maximum of 200 sheets. To add additional sheets, you can click on the plus sign in the sheets toolbar. One sheet will be added. To rename the sheet, click on the dropdown arrow next to the Sheet, and select RENAME. You may want to explore other sheet tab options available from the menu. There may be times when you want your Google Sheet to open to a specific tab. To accomplish this, copy the URL of the specific sheet tab. For example, if you want the Google Sheet to immediately open to the second sheet tab named Chart, copy the Chart sheet tab URL. You will notice that the information to the right of the / changes: Google Sheet URL: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hivDhrInFjmhl-AFB_frFOvpsyuY541hxn6ShQuo7I8/ edit?usp=sharing Chart Sheet Tab: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hivDhrInFjmhl-A

Review your Google app permissions!

I just LOVE the Sign in with Google buttons that you find all over the web. They are great because they use a protocol called OAUTH to securely log you in using your Google account. This means you don’t have to remember yet another username and password. We get so used to clicking these buttons to log in to sites and that means we’re racking up a bunch of sites that have access to our Google accounts. Today, I’m going to show you how to manage the connected apps and sites that you’ve authorized with your Google account. We can use this tip to review these apps and sites to see if we really use them and if we want them to have access to our Google account. Just follow these steps: Click your photo at the top right of any Google window, and select My Account. On the left side of the My Account window, click Connected apps & sites Then under the Apps connected to your account section, choose Manage apps. This will give you a list of a
