Hiya Friends! Get ready to have your minds blown.

I just LOVE LOVE LOVE Google Forms…I’ve got my Quick Quizzes all Googleized for you here and I did a lot of Google Forms during Distance Learning last Spring… but there was just one teeny tiny little thing that bugged me about Forms….if a Little Darling submitted his form late, I wouldn’t know to go look for it to give him credit.

UNTIL NOW!

Leave it to the Brilliant Google Minds to have a fix for this! I just discovered this last night and I just can’t wait to tell you!! You can set your form up to send you an email when new responses are added! So, you can assign your form, take a look at their answers and enter their scores THEN turn on the “Email notification” so you’ll be notified of any late forms that come in. THIS IS LIFE CHANGING, MY FRIENDS! What a time to be alive!

It’s super simple…here’s what you do: 

Open the Response tab of your form, click the 3 little dots and check “Get email notifications”. Now, every time a new response comes in, you’ll get an email, so you’ll know to look for late work.

(Another tip: As I review their work and enter grades into the grade book, I highlight everything and change the text to blue. Any new responses will come in with black text, which tells me they need to be added into the grade book!)

(One more tip, did you know you can send ALL your Google Form Responses to the same sheet, so everything is nice and organized and easy to access!)

How awesome is that?!?

Maybe, just maybe the 2020-2021 school year will be the year that we learn all the tricks to make us more efficient teachers! Here’s to hoping! Take care!
