Creating Quizzes with Google Forms

Did you know that you can create multiple choice quizzes in Google Forms that are automatically graded? You can also give your students text that explains why the answer they chose is correct, why the answer they chose is not correct, and links to videos or websites that can explain even further. Google Forms as quizzes is a fantastic tool for formative assessments.
