    Abstract:

    Technology can make tests and assessments easier to administer and grade. Following on January’s topic of using Google Education tools, the presenter will demonstrate how Google Docs and Forms can be used to create and administer a variety of types of quizzes, surveys, and assessments. Specific examples of tests for listening, reading, and writing courses, as well as surveys used to collect student opinions and feedback will be demonstrated. Attendees will create their own quiz and learn how to administer it to their students. Attendees can bring actual questions they want to add to their quiz or they can use sample questions provided by the presenter.

    テストを作成したり評定をつける時にテクノロジーを使うと評価しやすくなります。今回は1月に行われた岩手JALT会議でのグーグルの教育ツールの発表の続きとして、グーグルドックスとフォームズを使って様々なクイズや試験、アンケートの作り方を説明します。リスニング、リーディング、ライティングの試験や学生の意見やフィードバックをまとめるアンケートについて説明します。セミナー中参加者は自分のクイズとアンケートを作成することができます(実際にクイズに使いたい問題があれば、それを使うこともできますし、発表者が準備する質問の例を使うこと
    もできます)。

    Abstract:

    Do more with less by leveraging Google Education productivity tools to support improved learning outcomes while reducing your workload. Google’s search engine is the world’s most used search engine, but it’s lesser known Google Classroom suite provides a set of tools for fostering engagement and productivity in the classroom. Everything from testing, content delivery, and collaboration can be streamlined and improved through this free Google-driven toolbox. In this presentation I will provide hands-on lessons in maximizing this powerful tool so that you can provide superior results in your teaching.

    Units of study in speaking textbooks often culminate in a cumulative end-of-unit task. These tasks are valuable to learners in both their preparation and performance. As useful as these tasks are, their complexity can result in disappointing outcomes that leave both learners and the teacher befuddled. I will explore different ways to get the most out of these tasks and turn them into tools for supporting learning in the oral communication classroom.
