eSign Exit Ticket Made Easy

E sign exit ticket

in this video we're going to look at how we can use Google Forms to create an exit tickets or some kind of reflection for the end of the lesson so in order to do that what you really must do first is log on to your Google accounts now if you don't have a Google account what you need to do is go and sign up for a Google accounts and then you can start using the functionality of Google Forms so we're going to go to drive.google.com that will take you to Google Drive and this is where you can actually create the Google form so what I suggest you do is when you're in Google Drive is organize everything into folders so we're going to create a folder here I'm just going to click new and then folder and I'm going to call this Google Forms now you may want to name the folder for the class that you're actually teaching but this is what I'm going to do now but you just organize this the way that suits you so that's create and then let's go into the folder by double clicking and now what we want to do is go up to new and then go to more and then click Google Forms so this is what Google form looks like so let's give it a title to begin with so this is going to be training reflection and as you type the title you can type it in two places and it will take the title here as well so you can see that so our first question really is going to be to get the student name so let's put the name here and our question type is going to be a short answer now as you can see here we've got lots of different question types now I'm not going to go through every single question type in this video but you can have a look and you can experiment later so for this we're going to choose short answer we're actually going to say it's a required question we want that to be required now there is an option here we can click on these three little dots and we can put an extra description here and we have response validation so if we put description please and then we can go to validation now validation validates whether it's a number a text where it's the length or of whether it's a regular expression so you can change this to how you want it so it needs to be specific the answer to this question needs to be specific we're going to leave it out we're not going to use that for this particular question and then we're going to add a new question and then this question is going to be simply and for this what Google was done is automatically chosen the paragraph question because it uses artificial intelligence to determine what kind of question that you're asking and for this it's actually chosen a paragraph you can obviously override that by clicking on here and choosing a different option if you want but we'll keep with the paragraph we're also going to make that required so that's what you need is a basic reflection form before we continue what we also can do is go out to our color palettes and we can choose any of these colors at the moment you can see it's purple we can choose this option here that takes you to some other backgrounds so for example let's choose this one and then select and there we have it so that's the first part in creating a Google Form now the second part is how do we get this form to the students so they can fill it out now the easiest way is to go up to send and then send two email addresses so if you've got a group email address then you can send it to a group of students so that's one way of doing it you can also embed this into Google classroom if you wanted to put it into a Google classroom you could do that as well now if your students do not have email addresses we need another way of getting this form to the students so another way we could do it is by opening up a new tab and then going to bitly comm or you could go to another URL short in an application so here's bitly now what you need to do is click on create bit link and then you paste the URL in here now to get the URL what you need to do is go to your form and if the easiest way is to click send and then click the link button here there is the URL to the form so we can click that and we can click copy and then go back to bitly and paste that in there and now it's created our unique short URL and you can see that's very short there it's bit dr. lee slash and then this string of characters here so we can copy that and then we can put that on the whiteboard in some manner either in a presentation so the children can actually see it and then they would type it into their web browser now going back to our google form google also offers this shortened URL so you can click that but as you can see it's slightly longer than what the bitly one offers so I would personally go with a bitly one if that's something you wanted to do so that's using bitly another way to get this form to the students is by using a QR code so let's click another tab and we're going to type in QR code generator and normally this one here QR code generator com is a very good one so we're going to click on that and again this is where we're gonna paste our URL so again we can go back to here click on send click the link button copy this copy close that down back to our generator paste it in here click on create QR code and there is our QR code now we can download that and print it out and put it on the wall or we could just put it on the whiteboard and the children use it a QR code scanner on their iPads they can scan that and it will take them straight to the forum so that's another way of actually getting the forum out to the students a fourth way of getting it to the students is if you're using a website to distribute their learning to the students you can embed it into the website so again to do that we click on send we click on the two Chevron's this time so we're going to click on that and there we have the embed code now we can change the size here the heights and the width so we can click on this copy it and whatever web app that you're using to create your websites you can then embed that code into that website so that's another way then you can get that form out to your students now the third part of this tutorial is to show you how you can see the data from the responses of the students so on our Google Form here we've got this option that says responses so we click that this is going to show you all the responses that the students have given now at the moment you can see there there is no responses so let's create a response so let's go to our preview button here so let's click on our preview let's submit that now that submitted our response so let's go back to our forum now and now you can see here our responses says it's got one response so let's click on a response and you can see that's the information that's been delivered and you can go to individual here and you can see the individual ones that have been submitted so we got the summary and individual there is a third way and a third method of seeing the data now this method is very good if you want to start manipulating the data so let's click on create spreadsheet now that will create a spreadsheet with all the information that's been submitted from the Google Form so let's create that and here we go it gives us a spreadsheet it gives us the timestamp of when that entry was entered and then it will give us all the information that we've got in our Google Form now obviously if you've got more complicated forms then this spreadsheet could be the best way of analyzing the data now there's one more thing I want to show you that makes Google Forms really quite powerful there's an option if you go up to the settings option you can turn your reflection into a quiz so we click on that and we can make this a quiz so let's click on quiz and then it's going to ask you about the release mark immediately and release the mark after each submission and or later after a manual review so depending on what type of questions whether you've got multiple choice questions or long answer questions you can choose which one you want to do here multiple choice questions can be marked by a Google Forms so once we've turned this on we can click Save now we go back to our questions so I'm going to add another question here so my question is going to be what okay so my multiple-choice answers are so there are my three answers now I'm going to click on answer key now so what that's doing it's asking me to choose the correct answer so the correct answer is obviously the first it's giving me how many points I want to award so I'm gonna say one and what I could also do is add some feedback here if I want to so I can give some feedback for incorrect answers I could also give some feedback for correct answers I could add a link if I wanted to that would actually go to a particular link that might help the student more with the feedback that you want to give them I'm gonna leave that blank for now so let's preview the quiz again let's click preview and let's type in some answers and I'm going to click the correct answer and then click Submit now because in the settings I said that the student can view their score immediately after the test we can now click on view score and there the student can see what the score is now as a teacher if I go back to the spreadsheets I can see here that's the particular I can see here that's the entry that student has given and here is their score for that particular question incidentally if we go back to responses now we can now start to see we're getting a bit more information on our results and it gives us a much better idea of what's happening so I hope that's been informative and useful good luck with using Google Forms thanks for watching please click a like
