Kickin' it up With Google Forms

We've got the basic question and answers going pretty well with Google Forms. We can select various answer methods, create spreadsheet responses, add collaborators and make copies of forms shared with us. That's a pretty impressive learning curve!

What if we were to take Google Forms to the next level? What if, based on a student's answer, we could offer them some instant remediation through a video we've created and uploaded to YouTube? There are apps you could use to create your own video (My favorite is Explain Everything, available for iOS, Windows and Android), you could have your partner video tapping you giving a mini lesson on their smart phone, then upload it to YouTube (make it public so whoever is taking your practice quiz can see it).

Editorial Update: The only videos Google Forms will allow ARE YouTube videos. At the time of this video's creation, I was not aware of that. (Which is obvious, if you watch the video) Although this could not be used at school or from Google classroom, if you uploaded a "practice form" on your class webpage, then the students could practice at home, without having to log in via their school account.  
You could, however, upload a jpeg explanation of the question to help aid in student understanding and have them use THAT form at school. 

Disclaimer: At the time of this blog writing/video making, it was late. I was tired, my brain was on overload. Please forgive the scattered thoughts in this video. Hopefully the "picture is worth a thousand words" will play into this. 
Enjoy!
