Note: The following was prepared for a 30 minute webinar shared with teachers engaged in Bring Your Own Device/Technology implementation. It was my first venture with webinars to address BYOT. My plan is to offer more of these. How would you have improved what I did or done it differently? Feel free to leave constructive criticism/suggestions–don’t worry, I’ll get over my feelings–in the comments, email me privately (mguhlin @ g m a i l), or tweet at me @mguhlin . Thanks in advance!!

A. Quizzes in a BYOT Classroom
- Five Tips to Quizzing Success in a BYOT Classroom
- Edmodo Quiz – Works best on iOS devices, as well as Chromebook, laptop, desktop computers. Android still needs work for quiz support.
- Create a Quiz using GoogleForms – You can easily collect data with GoogleForms. This data is dropped into a spreadsheet in GoogleDocs, and at that point, you can work the numbers.
- GoogleForm to Create a Quiz by Janna Burnable
- Self-Grading Quiz with GoogleForms by Jesse Spevack (Google-Certified Teacher) – Jesse demonstrates how to create a self-grading quiz with GoogleDocs alone, although you can also use GoogleDocs and Flubaroo (discussed further below).
- Self-Grading with GoogleDocs and Flubaroo – While you can use a GoogleForm to collect quiz data, you can use Flubaroo -a free service–to actually grade those quizzes for you.
- GoogleDocs and Flubaroo (via YouTube) by Amy “FriEDTECHnology” Mayer
- Flubaroo Tutorial by Alyssa Calhoun
- Watch video tutorial on Flubaroo (via YouTube)
- Socrative – An easy to use online quiz tool developed for collecting information via mobile devices.
C. Try It Out!This is where I pick out the top two easiest options in my opinion.
- Sample Edmodo quiz…try this out on all the mobile devices you have available! You will need to join this Edmodo group–BYOT QuickLearn

I enjoyed the presentation very much! Extremely well done! One question, why have PLN and Quiz themes in the same presentation? Was it a timing issue trying to reach 30 minutes? It seemed to me I would have stopped at slide 13 and started a Quiz presentation at 14. Even in a small group session I could see that taking 30 minutes if you give people a chance for hands-on practice.May I reuse parts to share with my district? I would love to separate the topics but also add my contact for my school. Although I'm sure you'd be most helpful! I enjoy reading your blog very much. Thanks for sharing. Thanks, Jeanne

Hey Mr. Guhlin, my name is Jerica. I am a student at the University of South Alabama in EDM 310. I have been assigned to explore and comment on your blog. I enjoyed watching your slide presentation. For our EDM 310 class it was mandatory that we had to set up a Twitter account, and to be honest I didn't like the idea of it and thought it was pointless. But now that I have started following educators my whole outlook on Twitter has changed and I now see why it is so important.Also your 5 tips to Quizzing Success in the BYOT classroom were very insightful. I have never heard of Edmodo before. I will definitely be doing some extra research on this tool. I am looking forward to your next video! Thanks, Jerica
