A short thread on tips for using Google Forms.

Firstly, everything I have learned about Google Forms was via @missdcox amazing YouTube tutorials. All the ways we use Google Forms are based on these videos. I would start by watching these: https://t.co/5FnIwEAFlk
We design Google Forms collaboratively across the department. These are created on the department Google Drive. The use of admin questions at the start of a Google Form enables this.
Teachers can access their class responses via the drive. All responses can be downloaded onto a Google Sheet and then filtered according to class/teacher/question.
We primarily use Google Forms for MCQs. At KS3, these are set weekly as the final task for students to complete. Most questions are based off knowledge students will have looked at in that week.
We use questions from previous MCQs so students are revisiting topics. These questions could be ones which students have struggled with or ones which link to knowledge looked at in the week’s lesson. To import questions from prior MCQs, click on the import icon in the sidebar.
The sidebar allows you to do other things such as add extra question, add image, video or section.
We use MCQs to check both knowledge and skills. Here is an example where we check students understanding of thesis statements.
You can give feedback on correct/incorrect answers. Click on answer key answer and then on add answer feedback. You can provide feedback on correct and incorrect answers. This could include links to attachments or a video which would further support students.
We provide discussion statements where students identify their view. Students really enjoy these as a way of engaging with big questions. We encourage students to discuss their responses with friends and family. Their responses could also be discussed in Google Meet.
You can also use Forms to get students writing short answers. We haven’t done this given the increase of workload in checking answers and also MCQs can be more diagnostic. Nonetheless, they provide another way of receiving student responses.

More from Tech

There has been a lot of discussion about negative emissions technologies (NETs) lately. While we need to be skeptical of assumed planetary-scale engineering and wary of moral hazard, we also need much greater RD&D funding to keep our options open. A quick thread: 1/10

Energy system models love NETs, particularly for very rapid mitigation scenarios like 1.5C (where the alternative is zero global emissions by 2040)! More problematically, they also like tons of NETs in 2C scenarios where NETs are less essential.

In model world the math is simple: very rapid mitigation is expensive today, particularly once you get outside the power sector, and technological advancement may make later NETs cheaper than near-term mitigation after a point. 3/10

This is, of course, problematic if the aim is to ensure that particular targets (such as well-below 2C) are met; betting that a "backstop" technology that does not exist today at any meaningful scale will save the day is a hell of a moral hazard. 4/10

Many models go completely overboard with CCS, seeing a future resurgence of coal and a large part of global primary energy occurring with carbon capture. For example, here is what the MESSAGE SSP2-1.9 scenario shows: 5/10
What an amazing presentation! Loved how @ravidharamshi77 brilliantly started off with global macros & capital markets, and then gradually migrated to Indian equities, summing up his thesis for a bull market case!

My key learnings: ⬇️⬇️⬇️


First, the BEAR case:

1. Bitcoin has surpassed all the bubbles of the last 45 years in extent that includes Gold, Nikkei, dotcom bubble.

2. Cyclically adjusted PE ratio for S&P 500 almost at 1929 (The Great Depression) peaks, at highest levels except the dotcom crisis in 2000.

3. World market cap to GDP ratio presently at 124% vs last 5 years average of 92% & last 10 years average of 85%.
US market cap to GDP nearing 200%.

4. Bitcoin (as an asset class) has moved to the 3rd place in terms of price gains in preceding 3 years before peak (900%); 1st was Tulip bubble in 17th century (rising 2200%).
