Google Forms

 

A results page from a survey created and administered using Google Forms.

    • Google Forms
    • https://docs.google.com/forms/u/0/
    • Type of Learning (Bloom’s Taxonomy): Building and launching a form puts a student right at the level of “Create”, with the results of the survey able to be worked with at each level moving downward in the taxonomy.
    • Type of Learning experience (Dale’s Cone of Experience): If a student creates a form to be completed by classmates or other participants, that action is a “direct, purposeful experience” of interacting with others through a form and learning their thoughts and responses on the topic of the form.  Experiencing just the responses from the form without building it puts a student more at the “exhibits” or “demonstrations” section of the Cone.
    • Integration of tool for teaching and learning:
    • Google Forms is an essential tool for not just displaying or analyzing a concept, but for actually collecting survey data so that it can be considered in understanding a topic. Teachers and students can create forms on any given topic, include single answer, multiple answer, and open text questions, and share the form with any size group that they wish.  Responses may be viewed while the survey is ongoing, both in individual form and in a chart-based summary of responses.  Responses may include the respondent’s identifying information or be taken anonymously. In addition to the graphical summary of responses, data may also be exported to Google Slides (and from there to a host of other software) for flexibility in grouping and organizing responses.  For a survey approach to data collection, Google Forms provides a free and very flexible option.

  Gliffy https://www.gliffy.com/ Type of Learning (Bloom’s Taxonomy): Gliffy could run the gamut of Bloom's Taxonomy depending on how it was utilized:  students could be given a completed organizer to help them "remember" content that was already presented in a different manner, they could "create" their own organizer and use it to "evaluate" a concept, "analyze" the elements of a concept by comparing and contrasting them, "apply" skills in doing the above activities, and show that they "understand" the concepts address by working out their own way of organizing items.  Type of Learning experience (Dale’s Cone of Experience): Students could experience a prepared graphical organizer at the point of "exhibits" or "demonstrations," but in having students build their own graphical organizers there is potential for "dramatic participation" and "contrived experiences" along with "dire...

  Flip (formerly Flipgrid) https://info.flip.com/ Type of Learning (Bloom's Taxonomy): Could work with any level of the taxonomy, depending on what they student is asked to record in their video:  could be anything from recounting what they remember about a topic, to demonstrating their understanding in a presentation, to applying content and demonstrating that in a video, analyzing  situation in a video, evaluating a situation, or even creating a video to demonstrate their understanding of a topic/concept. Type of Learning Experience (Dale’s Cone of Experience): Seems to fit somewhere in the middle of the Cone (Exhibits, Field Trips, Demonstrations) if students are watching the work of other students showing their work or watching the instructor demonstrate actions or visit places.  But, can involve the student who is recording a video in options further down the Cone (Dramatic Participation, Contrived Experiences, Direct Purposeful Experiences) if student is asked ...

  Lucidchart https://www.lucidchart.com/pages/ Type of Learning (Bloom’s Taxonomy): "Create, Evaluate, Analyze, Apply" (depending on task assigned to the student) Type of Learning experience (Dale’s Cone of Experience): "Demonstrations" through "Direct, Purposeful experiences" (depending on task assigned) Integration of Tool for Teaching and Learning: Lucidchart has many uses.  It is a tool for creating online diagrams, and has a large library of symbols and templates to help with this.  It can also be used as a mind mapping tool for brainstorming, or to create Venn diagrams, flowcharts, and timelines.  Instructors may use it to visually depict class content in terms of processes or relationships among elements and concepts and share them with students either inside of Lucidchart or embedded in other documents and tools (Google Docs, for example).  If kept inside Lucidchart, an online diagram can be contributed to by an entire class or a group of students....
