Digital Exit Tickets
Ask students to quickly submit one thing they learned and one thing they are still confused about at the end of a lesson. Reviewing these responses before the next class allows you to use the data immediately to adjust your instruction.
- The Responses tab shows charts from multiple choice answers.
- Click the copy icon for the chart and paste into a Google Slides. When prompted, choose to LINK the chart to allow it to update as student responses are submitted.
Self Reflection and Ownership
Create a Form that asks students to evaluate their own work against the success criteria you shared at the start of a task. This collaborative approach removes any mystery about grading and empowers students to track their own learning destination.
- Utilize checkbox grid question type to allow students to evaluate on a rubric grid.
Peer Feedback
Set up a Form where students submit feedback for a classmate using the Two Stars and a Wish technique. They identify two positive features of a peer's work and one specific area for further attention, activating students as learning resources for one another.
- Create a dropdown question.
- PASTE the list of student names all at once to avoid having to enter each student one at a time.
- Allow students to choose from the dropdown who they are giving respectful feedback to.
- Share linked spreadsheet of feedback after reviewing that the comments are kind and helpful.
Closing the Loop
After a complex class discussion, send out a brief Form to see if the conversation cleared up misconceptions for everyone. This provides a low stakes check for understanding, especially for students who may not have spoken out loud during class.
- Try the rating style question type
Key Practices for Formative Use
Keep these assessments ungraded to ensure students focus on growth rather than performance. Simply collecting data is not enough. It only becomes a formative process when you actively use the evidence you elicited to change your next instructional move.
