I know this is nothing new, but as for teacher whose students leave notes at home, this can be really handy. A little while back, Google allowed you to insert a video into Google form. At the time I thought nothing of it, but while designing an activity for a lesson, I thought to myself, this would be a great way to combine two exercises. When students watch the videos for me, they have to interact with the video. What that usually means is that they take notes on the video and then bring them to class so that they have some concrete evidence of they watched the video. Every now and then I would have them fill out a Google Form with questions based on the video to demonstrate understanding. We would use these for a different activity, but thats not the point. Here is what the video embedded in the form looks like:
We will see how this works out. It may take my students some time to get used to!
