Google Forms

I really like and think the Web 2.0 tool Google Forms has a lot of potential in the classroom.  It could be really useful for getting to know your students, emergency contact forms, or even for low stress assessments to check for understanding.  In fact I think this is my favorite part about Google Forms.  From my experience in the classroom as a student and as a teacher, doing an assignment online usually creates a more relaxed atmosphere.  If I was to give out an assessment using paper and pencil and the same assessment using Google Forms, I think the mood of class would vary greatly between the two ways despite it being the same assessment.  Google Forms are really easy to create and distribute to students.  These reasons all have me very excited to begin using this awesome tool in the classroom.
