Wah, wah, wah .... Well, I gave my online 6th graders a quiz (finally) on Friday, using a Google Form that I created. I have had students use this form before, but only one here and there, if they missed the day of the quiz or if they were an optional remote student. Because we had a late start for weather, our class was slightly shortened, but they should have had plenty of time. However, I had two students who weren't finished at the end of class. They tried to keep working but I told them they had to move on to their next Google classroom. I thought their form would save and they would be able to finish up another day. OH NO! I was wrong. I just feel awful! All the time they worked on that quiz, and now ... I guess they'll have to start over. Definitely a big goof on my part. This is why one should never assume!
So I did some research, and it appears that Alice Keeler has created a work-around for this problem: http://alicekeeler.com/formeditlink. It says you can even import your questions from another Google Form. Has anyone else ever made this goof? If so, how did you handle it?
Kristin, I am so sorry to hear about this! It's one thing when the fail happens to something that your students have been working so hard at. I'm glad to hear that you were able to find a possible work -around for the problem. You would think that if it was connected to their Google account, they would be able to pick up where they left off. Thank you for bringing this up as I will definitely keep it in mind when I am using Google Forms for assessment with my students.
