*From Google:  Accelerate the feedback loop: Quizzes in Google Forms  Getting feedback early helps students learn and teachers teach. Starting now,  Quizzes in Google Forms  will allow teachers to auto-grade multiple choice and checkbox questions — so teachers can spend less time grading and more time teaching.  Teachers can also add review materials in the form of explanations, supplemental websites or review videos — so students can get quick, actionable feedback. Plus, teachers can get instant feedback on student progress, so they know which lessons need more explanation and what to teach next. We’ve also added a common request from educators to disallow students from sending themselves a copy of their responses.  If you haven't used Google Forms with your class,  it's time you re consider.  Especially now that there is a built in Quiz function for auto grading.  Check it out in my video below and read all about it from Google's Education blog
