Google Forms now supports automatic closing based on a date, time, or response limit. This update helps teachers automate quiz deadlines and allows clerical staff to cap event registrations automatically. These tools remove the need to manually stop accepting responses.

Google recently updated the sharing menu in Google Forms. The new Publish button gives the form owner more granular control over who can edit and respond to the form. There are three (3) things to know about this update:
Google Forms has recently introduced a new question type called: Rating. This feature allows users to select a scale ranging from 3 to 10 icons, with options including stars, hearts, or thumbs-up. This can be a great option for quick and easy surveys. Give it a try with your next Google Form.
I've been sharing information about Google Classroom's Practice Sets. Launched last year, the tool allows educators to create interactive assignments from new and existing content. Students receive real-time feedback as they complete practice sets, and teachers receive performance insights and snapshots of student progress. Now, teachers can save time when creating assignments by importing Google Forms into practice set questions. This new feature makes it even easier to give practice sets a try.
In 2008, Moodle was implemented as the primary learning management system (LMS) for all secondary classes at NPAS. However, as technology has evolved, our version of Moodle is no longer supported, posing potential security risks. Upgrading to a supported version would require significant time and financial resources. As a result, the NP Moodle site will be shut down at the end of the 2023-2024 school year. This delay will give staff one year to transfer or convert any necessary materials.
Since 2020, Google Classroom became the required LMS for all NPAS classes in grades 2-12. This has provided a common platform for all staff and students who teach and learn in a Chromebook environment. Moodle remained available mainly for assessments. However, over time, most teachers have converted their Moodle Quizzes to Google Forms Quizzes.
To simplify the conversion process, some teachers have utilized the GIFT Quiz Editor add-on for Google Forms. This tool enables users to export a file from Moodle (in GIFT format) and paste the content into the Google Form, rather than retyping each question. It's not magic, but it can save a considerable amount of time. Watch the video tutorial to see a demonstration.
BeepAudio is a free Chrome extension for recording and inserting audio files into Google Docs, Forms, Classroom, and more! Teachers can create audio-based questions, such as recorded readings or pronunciation prompts, and include them in a Google Forms Quiz. Students can listen to the audio and answer the question with text, or by recording a response. Additionally, teachers can use BeepAudio to record feedback when assessing student work in Google Classroom.
Google Forms is a great way to create and distribute surveys and quizzes. The digital tool provides quick results for teachers and immediate feedback for students. Occasionally, you need a paper copy of the Google Form. There is a built-in print feature, but it requires a lot of paper and does not allow you to edit or format the content.
Form Printer is a Google Forms add-on that "prints" your survey / quiz to a Google Doc. From there, you can easily modify the text and print when you are satisfied with the formatting. This option works great for make-up or modified assessments. Click the link to install the add-on. When you are finished entering your Google Forms questions, click the puzzle piece icon to run Form Printer.
When you or your students respond to a Google Form or Quiz assignment, your progress will automatically be saved as a draft for 30 days from your last edit, or until your submission is complete.
This was highly requested to ensure students won’t have to start over if:
To disable this feature, on a specific Google Form, go to Settings > Presentation > Restrictions > Disable autosave for all respondents.
