Technology Workshop Evaluation

The purpose of this workshop was to show teachers how to incorporate digital formative
assessments into their daily class instruction. As we are transitioning into becoming a fully
personalized learning school it is important that we allow students to work on their path and pace
through the standards. Using Google Forms as a formative assessment, allows teachers to spend
more to on small group or one-to-one instruction rather than stopping to assess everyone.
Students will be able to take their formative assessment when they feel comfortable and the
teacher can use the results to guide their instruction.
Prior to the workshop, I sent five fourth grade teachers a pre-survey to gain an
understanding of their needs in regards to creating a Google Form. Based on the Pre-Survey
results in Figure 1 I designed my agenda and lesson plan around it. Many of the teachers
understood how to log into their Google accounts, so I focused on creating, sharing, and viewing
the results of the form.

The overall workshop went very well. During the workshop, I covered the basics of using
Google Form. I wanted the teachers to focus on using the Google Form as a formative
assessment in their classroom. The following figures are the results from the Post-Survey on
Google Forms.

Figure 4. On a scale of 1 to 5, 1 being I do not understand how to create a Google Form and 5
being I understand how to create a Google Form, eighty percent of the teachers completely
understand how to create a Google Form after participating in the workshop,

Figure 5. Based on the results, most of the teachers have an idea of how to share or embed a link
to a Google Form.

Figure 6. Sixty percent of the teachers have an idea of how they will use Google Forms in their
classroom instruction.

Figure 7. Comments and questions from the five fourth grade teachers.

Based on the results from the Post-Workshop Survey, I have developed a plan of next
steps of instruction on using Google Forms. Some ideas include formatting the template,
incorporating feedback when students have a selected an incorrect response, and incorporating
YouTube videos. The workshop was a great learning experience for in becoming a future
technology coach. I have learned to reflect on works and does not work, which leads to changes I
would like to make in a future workshop. I hope to redeliver the same workshop to another grade
level in hopes of impacting their classroom instruction.
