In this video I'm going to show you must-have Google Forms add-ons for making quizzes. I'll
show you add-ons that allow you to add different types of limitations to your quizzes, as well as do
things like add math language and send automated certificates to students after they've completed
a quiz. If you use Google Forms to make quizzes for your students you'll definitely want to have these
add-ons installed. My name is Sam Kary and this is my YouTube channel for The New EdTech Classroom.
All right so to get these add-ons I'm first going to go here to Google Forms. After I've opened up a
form I'll go to the three dot menu on the top right hand side of the screen and then I'll
scroll down to 'Add-ons.' That will take you over to the G-suite marketplace, where you'll specifically
see add-ons that are compatible with Google Forms. There are definitely lots of interesting forms
add-ons you should check out and in this video I'm just going to focus on ones that add extra
functionality when we're building quizzes for students. So the first one that I'm going to get
is called Form Limiter and Form Limiter is going to allow me to limit the amount of time that a
quiz is available for students. This is different than creating a timed quiz and I'll show you what
I mean in just a second. And then since this is the first one I'll walk you through the whole process
of installing an add-on on Google Forms and then skip that for the rest of the add-ons. So what
I'll do here is click on Form Limiter. That will take you over to a screen that gives you some
information that you might want to check out about each of the add-ons. For example, you can scroll
below and see different reviews to check out what other people have said about it. Then when you're
ready to install it you'll click that blue 'Install' button. Then you'll click 'Continue' and then sign
in with your Gmail account. Then you'll see this pop-up asking for permission to access parts of
your Google account and to proceed forward you need to click 'Allow.' After installing an add-on
a pop-up box will show up that sometimes gives you additional information about how to use it
or in this case just tells us where we can find it when we need to access it. Now in order to actually
open up an add-on you'll need to go up to this puzzle piece and then scroll down and find the
add-on that you're looking for. So here I'll select Form Limiter and then this other box will pop up
and here I'll choose 'Set limit.' Once you've opened an add-on it's going to show up as a small box on
the bottom right hand side of the screen. So again this add-on is going to allow you to add different
limitations to your form. So to start I'll go here to the drop down menu under 'Limit Type'
and you'll see here that you have two different options. You can either set a limit for the
date and time for when your quiz is open and available to take or you can set a limit for
the number of responses for a quiz. It makes the most sense to set a limit for the date and time
so selecting that option is going to allow you to set a due date for your quiz.
So here I'll start by choosing a calendar date and then after I've chosen a date I'll choose
the time when I want that quiz to close. So for example I could set up my quiz to close at 3 PM
on September 29th. And then below you'll also see that there's a place where you can add a custom
message that will show up if a student tries to take the quiz, but the quiz is no longer available.
Then to enable that limit you just need to click on the blue 'Save and Enable' button and that will
automatically close the quiz that you just set up at your chosen date and time. The next Forms
add-on for making a quiz is called Certify'em. Certify'em is an add-on that will auto-generate
a certificate of completion that will be sent to students based on whatever parameters
you set up for a quiz. So for example if you wanted to create a certificate only for students that got
80 or above on a Google Forms quiz you could do that. Okay so I'll go ahead and install this add-on
and then in order to access it I again need to go up to that puzzle piece and now I'll select
Certify'em. You'll see that that will pop up a box on the bottom right hand corner of the screen
and here you'll want to click 'Continue.' So here you'll see that you can first set a percentage
that a student would need to receive on a quiz in order to get a certificate. So I'll go ahead and
choose 90 as a passing score, just as an example here, and then below you'll also see that there are
different types of templates that you can send out. So here for example I'll change it to the
thumbs up template. So to show you how this works let's hop over quickly here to the student view.
So the student would answer the questions on the Google Forms quiz here and then submit
their responses. And since I set the percentage at 90 percent, if the student gets a 90 or above on
the quiz, which this student did, then they can go over to their email and they'll see that they've
received a certificate from Certify'em. So here when a student opens up their email they'll see
that they have a certificate with their name on it, as well as the date they took the exam,
the name of the exam, and the final score that they got on it. The next forms add-on is Hypatia. Hypatia
is an add-on specifically for math teachers that will allow you to create a Forms quiz
using math language. So I'll install it quickly here and then once I have it installed go back
up to that puzzle piece and find Hypatia in order to open it up. Immediately after opening it you'll
see that it pops up a math editing window in the middle of your screen and here you'll be able to
build an accurate mathematical equation. So for example you can do things like add exponents
and then there's also lots of advanced math that you can add as well. Now the way this works is that
after you're done building your equation you need to click 'Create Link' and that's going to generate
an image URL that you can copy and paste into your form. Then I'll go back to the form and in
the question box I'll choose to insert an image. And here I'll go over to the 'By URL' tab and then
copy and paste that link in. There you'll see that the image you just created shows up as a question
and then you'd be able to either manually enter numbers as answer responses or if you needed to
create new equations and add those as answer responses instead you could do that as well. So
I'll go ahead and open up the Hypatia mini editor here, which is really mostly the same as the other
math editor, and then I'll go ahead and create an equation, create the link for that equation,
and then add it back as an answer choice. All right the last forms extension that I'm going
to show you for making quizzes is called Quilgo. Quilgo is going to allow you to create a timed quiz
for students. So whereas Form Limiter closed a quiz at a particular date and time, Quilgo will set a
quiz up so that students only have a particular amount of time to take a quiz that you give them.
After you've installed the Quilgo add-on you'll see that you do need to complete some additional steps
in order to get started. So to do that here I'll click 'Complete additional setup now,' and then for
this add-on you'll need to go through a process of setting up an account. After you've set up
that account you'll see that the first thing you need to do is copy and paste a secure token back
into Google Forms. You basically need to do this in order for the form to communicate with that
account that you just set up. So here I'll click 'Copy' and then back on Google Forms I'll return to
the puzzle piece and then scroll down to Quilgo. I'll click 'Configure' and then you'll see that a box
will pop up and there's where I'm going to need to copy and paste the secure token that I just got.
So I'll paste that in and then click 'Connect.' Then in order to get started you'll need to
click 'Enable Quilgo On This Form.' After you've done that you'll need to return to the Quilgo website,
then on the dashboard click the blue 'Create tests' button. Then a box will pop up so you can customize
the time limit for this particular quiz. The first thing you'll need to do here is enter the email
addresses for the students who you want to be able to take the quiz. Then below, under 'Time
duration,' you'll enter a number of minutes for the amount of time that you want the quiz to be open.
And if you want you can also select this box that will allow students to see their result
on the quiz after they finish taking it. Then once you're ready, click the blue 'Create' button.
Here you'll see after you've created the quiz that it will generate a link that you can copy
and then share directly with your students. So I'll go ahead and copy this link here and now I'll go
over to a student browser and paste that link in. Here the student can see the title of the quiz
as well as the amount of time that they have to take it and once they're ready they can click 'Open
the Form.' And now you'll see that there's a running timer at the top of their Google Forms quiz
and once that timer runs down they'll no longer be able to continue working on that quiz.
After a student takes the quiz and submits it, you can go back over to Quilgo and there
you'll be able to see on your end exactly when the student took the quiz, as well as the exact
amount of time that it took them to take it. I hope you found these tips about must-have
