Thanks to George Station for pointing this to me in a Facebook post
Free Technology for Teachers: How to Enable Automatic Grading in Google Forms
I am thinking to myself, “Self? What kind of knowledge is this that can be tested in such ways?” I would answer, “Pretty inconsequential.” But the adjacent possibilities this tool opens are not.
I would rather students make their own damned quizzes for themselves or their peers here, then as a group create a collaborative quiz and critique what is being tested and what isn’t. I guess what I am saying is that this is a very potent tool. Let’s not just use it for its lowest purpose. This is not a criticism of Google or Richard Byrne or George, but a plea to move beyond and refine the repertoire for our learners and in the end make it, as Ivan Illich called it, a convivial tool.
