Microsoft Forms
Create quizzes, surveys, and polls for your students to help you gather and analyze data. For quizzes, objective questions could be graded automatically and open-ended questions are graded by the educator after students submit their work. Students can create forms to gather data for projects. Faculty can create brief lessons in forms with embedded media and questions to check for understanding. There are many ways you can use Microsoft Forms!
Where can I access Microsoft Forms and how can I create a form?
You can access Microsoft Forms in Office 365. Use the links below to help you create forms and quizzes:
I need some ideas to spark my creativity!
Below are some ways you could use Microsoft Forms with your learners. How might you adapt them to meet your students' needs?
- KWL or KWHL questions before diving into a unit to gather information from students about areas of interest and questions they have about a concept, skill, or topic before they learn it. Focusing on their interests helps draw them into the learning experiences you have planned!
- Exit ticket questions about what they have learned before ending a lesson or unit which could help clarify misconceptions before moving to the next learning experience; use a Rating question to rate their understanding of a lesson...
- Gather data from students to use as part of a lesson (Note: Do not ask for private information from students to put into forms.)
- Daily check-in for questions they might have about the previous night's assignments. Gathering this information ahead of time allows you to address questions multiple students have all at once and contact individuals who need personalized support.
- Vocabulary Practice - students can take brief quizzes over and over until they reach a certain grade (i.e., 80%) to build a foundational understanding of language connected with the concepts, skills, and topics they are learning.
- Flipped lesson - build a brief lesson to teach a concept or skill that students will need to know when they come to class where they will apply it through a collaborative activity; embed video tutorials, photos, images, and/or brief lecture casts about the desired learning, questions to check for understanding, and information letting them know what they will do with the information and why it is important to learn it for the in-class activities you plan to do.
- Collaborate on a rubric for an upcoming assignment - students can review the syllabus for the requirements for the project and design criteria that they will need to accomplish in their work to complete the project
- Submit photos or documents for a group project by using the FILE UPLOAD question type (uploads are stored in a folder for questions in your OneDrive and you can share the folder with students if they are using the photos or documents to complete a project).
