Today we learned about Google apps such as Google-docs and Google form. Because I have already used Google-docs before, I was particularly excited about what I could do with the Google form, and it was the first time in my life that I had actually created an online survey form(see below) with questions which allowed different types of input including text, checkboxes, scale, etc..In the past, I was always amazed by those beautifully laid out and formatted online surveys, and I had no idea how easily it could be done until today, thanks to our capable TA.
In addition, the student response system, Socrative, introduced by Zack today in class was also a really neat way to engage students into classroom activities and help teacher gain instant feedback from the class. What I like most about the system is that it is simple and focused, hence easy to use and efficient. Because I think one of the most common problems with language learning and classroom management systems is that too many resources cram together in a complicated structure which would sometimes scare potential users away.
