Video - 5 Tips to Quizzing Success in the #BYOT Classroom

Note: The following was prepared for a 30 minute webinar shared with teachers engaged in Bring Your Own Device/Technology implementation. It was my first venture with webinars to address BYOT. My plan is to offer more of these. How would you have improved what I did or done it differently? Feel free to leave constructive criticism/suggestions—don’t worry, I’ll get over my feelings—in the comments, email me privately (mguhlin @ g m a i l), or tweet at me @mguhlin . Thanks in advance!!

Create a Quiz using GoogleForms - You can easily collect data with GoogleForms. This data is dropped into a spreadsheet in GoogleDocs, and at that point, you can work the numbers.
