Google Forms Quizzes vs. Flubaroo
One of our tech tips last week showed how to create a self-grading quiz in Google Forms. Since that tip went out we got many questions about how Google Forms quizzes compare to another popular grading tool for Forms, Flubaroo. Flubaroo is an add-on for Google Sheets that allows you assess student responses to a Form and send them feedback. This short article by Eric Curts gives details on the benefits and limitations of each. I'll include the summary chart below for a quick way to compare your formative assessment options for Google Forms.

Google Keep
On the surface, Google Keep looks like yet another sticky note app. While it does provide the ability to take quick notes, it can do so much more. You can attach pictures and links to your notes, color code them, add labels for easy sorting and also set reminders. Notes can also be collaborative when shared with other users.
Keep is a tool that you could use to help organize your professional life. It could also be used by students in the classroom. Notes could be shared between group project members as they collect research. A student might also use it individually to keep track of their to-do list. I encourage you to at least try Google Keep for a while to see how you might make use of it.
To get help using Google Keep, visit the Google Support Center or contact one of your Digital Learning Specialists.
