In 2012 and 2013, I had began using Google docs and prezi to collaborate with learners on projects. However the juniors were battling to zoom in on Powerpoints on their cellphones, so I decided to explore using Google forms for visual analysis activities and the result was a treat. The answers came through in a spreadsheet format and this made my marking much easier, as it allowed me to mark one question at a time without wasting time flipping through scripts. This is very useful for short questions as you are able to mark fairly and establish clearer patterns of which areas learners are struggling with or which questions need to be clearer. I have since tried this method with the seniors and have received some useful feedback from them.
