Organizing assignments.

So, since homeschooling my 10 year old we have found that he really likes to do things independently if possible. One way I do this, is I created a blog just for him. I put his assignment into a blog post with a date on it every day. He goes to his website, reads his assignments and gets started.

We are using Allinonehomeschool.com which utilizes a lot of online resources.  The section we are on right now has my son read a poem, answer a few questions about that poem, and then go to a website to write a poem. At first I had him writing his answers in a notebook, but we are trying to encourage him to type so instead I found a way to have him type right into the blog post using google forms!

You simply go to google drive, click on "create" and select "form". Then you create your form by inputting the questions, choosing whether you want the child to type in an answer or choose from multiple choice etc., get the embed code and post it into your blog!

Another super cool feature of this, is that google automatically populates the answers into a separate spread sheet! So you can review it later! And they automatically create this spreadsheet for you when the form is created.

Here is a screen shot of what the form looks like!

And here is what the spread sheet with the responses looks like!

You can use this method for creating your own studies/question answer forms also!

Happy Homeschooling!
