Google Classroom Update: Poll Your Students

Last month's update to Google Classroom included a new feature I am super excited about, the ability to poll students. The "Create Question" option has been here for a while now, but it has only allowed for short answer responses. That is no longer the case!!! Here is what is new:



Click "Create Question."

You will see a new option to select "Multiple Choice."

From here, play with it and use it as you will. I already have grand plans for using it to complete multiple choice questions one at the time to work on overall class pacing and allow for immediate feedback and discussion. 

Another idea is to use it as a "Ticket Out the Door" for a quick poll of how comfortable your students are with the new material of the day. Here is an example of that.

When it comes to this option, the sky truly is the limit. I know there are other programs and options out there for something like this, but I love that it is now in my Google Classroom, something my students use every day. Hope you find this as useful as I do, and happy Monday. For my Texas friends, we only have four or five more to go!!!!!!
