15. Google Sheets - tips
Tip #6 – Set up a simple Spreadsheet for scheduling parent/teacher
conferences. It’s preferred over the traditional paper version because
parents can access the sheet from their Gmail account, see what slots
are available, and select the best time for their meeting.
Tip #7 – Use Spreadsheets to track homework assignments, create
student-driven vocabulary flashcards, or perhaps even to help
students document their science experiments.

18. Google Forms - tips
Tip #7 – Give a pre-assessment test to your students at the beginning
of the year to get an idea of the knowledge level of your class. Then do
another assessment at the end of each marking period to see how
much progress they’ve made.
Tip #8 – Do a quick survey on your students’ interests and try to tie
them into your daily work lessons.
Tip #9 – Encourage your students to read more by setting up a form
where they can submit their reading records. For example, they can
track how many minutes they read each week.
Tip #10 – Create quizzes with Forms and then automatically grade
them by using an Apps script like Flubaroo. (more on scripts below)
