There are several video tutorials on how to create these forms. Here is one on how to create a quiz.

A video tutorial that I like even better is this one that even teaches you how to set-up your spreadsheet to grade quizzes for you.

Happy quizzing.

By itself, the site is cool. However, I didn’t want my students just hit and missing stuff throughout the site. I wanted them to explore it with a purpose. As a result, I created a guide in the form of a worksheet that turn the site into a bit of a scavenger. It also helped make sure that students didn’t miss any of the good stuff.

Now I know what you are thinking: “Silly Tech Ninja, worksheets are high tech!” My response, is that not everything has to have a high tech solution and sometimes the best or the easiest solutions are low tech. For this problem, the easiest solution is low tech with a webby twist.

Directions for this are at the link above. The download link for the guide is below.
