All Questions Required

So, you're creating a quiz using Google Forms. You get it just right, and share with students via Google Classroom. Then you notice after a few were turned in, that some of the questions were not answered. You were positive that you chose "Required question" on each item. Obviously there was one or two that were overlooked.

Wouldn't it be great if with one click of a button, *SWOOSH!* all items are immediately marked as required?

That's where this neat little add on called, "All Questions Required?" comes in. When you open up a new Google form, click on the three dots in the upper right (hamburger menu), then choose "add ons" at the very bottom. This takes you to the store where you can type in, "All Questions Required" in the search options. Download it, follow the prompts. Easy peasy!

Now... if we can just remember to click the "all questions required" button on our next activity....

Equatio, Quite Possibly a Math Teacher's BFF

Math teachers, we have not forgotten about you! My heart melted when I read Eric Curtis', "Control Alt Achieve" blog, regarding g(math)'s upgrade to Equatio. According to Eric, this fine product should be coming out today! This will be a Chrome Extension, instead of an Add On, which means hopefully it'll work beyond Google Docs.

There will be a free version for Google Docs and a premium version to use with Google Forms. How much? That remains to be seen. I hope it's doable for teachers.

G(Math), as you recall, is an add on for Google Docs that allows us to insert those math symbols onto our Docs.

With Equatio, the students will also be able to incorporate math symbols in their answer space when they fill out your assessment. It'll be an option right inside the short answer answer space or paragraph answer space.

I'm really excited about this new software, and can't wait to see how well it performs. To see it in action, browse over to Eric's blog and check out his animated examples of using the program. See what you think!
