In terms of utilizing Google Forms can be used to:
1) Collect information: For example, at the beginning of the year a teacher could have students fill out a form that pertains to their personal details such as their name, contact information and an interesting fact that they would like to share about themselves. This would be a useful way for the teacher to get to know their students.
2) Google Forms would be a fantastic means of collecting information and consent from parents for field trips. The parents could go online and enter the students emergency contact information. These eleviates the stress that comes with getting students to bring these type of forms to school.
3) Teachers can post their marking rubics online and students can use them for the purpose of assignments.
4) Collecting homework: Students can do their homework within Google Forms and it is timestamped to show their timely completion of tasks.,
5) Google Forms could help teachers stay in contact with students and "check-in" with them to see how are they are doing.
Shy students or those who are hesitant to share personal details in class could benefit from the ability to commmunicate directly with their teachers in a private and safe environment.
This kind of technology could be easily implemented in the elementary school classroom all the way up to high school.
