To engage and motivate students, teachers need to know their students. One way to get to know them is to have them interact with one another using an Interest Survey that allows them to explore one another’s interests. The survey can be followed up with an interest google form that shares this information with their teachers.

Using engaging activities such as vocabulary bingo can further increase engagement. It can also help teachers differentiate for various learners and to spread a wide net that helps reach a wide variety of learners.

A branching google form can help teachers better identify students’ needs. These forms can be customized to reflect different content areas as well as executive functioning skills.
