Google Docs Spreadsheets
Google Docs is yet another web technology with many different applications and uses. Our assignment in Google Docs was to use spreadsheets to create a grade book. In the spreadsheet, you can designate cells to perform certain functions for you to calculate all the grades on the computer. I also included a graph or chart to visually show all the students grades.

Google Forms
Another function within Google Docs spreadsheets is Google Forms. Using Google Forms, I was to create an online self-grading quiz. My quiz was a math quiz over fractions. Once the quiz was made, I had to use spreadsheets and another tool called Flubaroo to get my quiz to self-grade. The self-grading didn't work too well for me because it could not recognize fractions the way I was using them and all my students basically got a zero. It would take some more work to figure out how to get the grading to work with fractions, but it can still be a very useful tool for other online quizzes.
Here is the online quiz and the grade book to go with it.
