Self-Grading Google Quizzes

Today we learned how to make a self-graded quiz using Google spreadsheets. The instructions are on this site. You can find my quiz here.




This fits the following NET Standard:
3. Model Digital-Age Work and Learning
a. demonstrate fluency in technology systems and the transfer of current knowledge to new technologies and situations.
Rather than having students complete a test on paper, students will complete it online in a google self-grading quiz. This is new technology.
