Daydream - Colton Witt

Have you dreamed of the day where you can give your students quick formative feedback and have the results automatically tallied, color-coded and recorded?

That day is today. Your dreams are now coming true.

This magical tool, flubaroo, works in conjunction with a Google Form to automatically grade the results of your quiz and enter them into a color-coded spreadsheet. Personalized results can also be emailed to the student giving them instant feedback.

Red - Names in red scored less than 75 on the quiz.
Orange - Questions highlighted in orange indicate less than 60% of the students got it right.

These two colors could make differentiated instruction more targeted, you know who needs what instantly.
