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.

A brief analysis and comparison of the CSS for Twitter's PWA vs Twitter's legacy desktop website. The difference is dramatic and I'll touch on some reasons why.

Legacy site *downloads* ~630 KB CSS per theme and writing direction.

6,769 rules
9,252 selectors
16.7k declarations
3,370 unique declarations
44 media queries
36 unique colors
50 unique background colors
46 unique font sizes
39 unique z-indices

PWA *incrementally generates* ~30 KB CSS that handles all themes and writing directions.

735 rules
740 selectors
757 declarations
730 unique declarations
0 media queries
11 unique colors
32 unique background colors
15 unique font sizes
7 unique z-indices

The legacy site's CSS is what happens when hundreds of people directly write CSS over many years. Specificity wars, redundancy, a house of cards that can't be fixed. The result is extremely inefficient and error-prone styling that punishes users and developers.

The PWA's CSS is generated on-demand by a JS framework that manages styles and outputs "atomic CSS". The framework can enforce strict constraints and perform optimisations, which is why the CSS is so much smaller and safer. Style conflicts and unbounded CSS growth are avoided.
