The session that I chose was called "Creating a Self Correcting Quiz Using Google Forms".
1) The basic ideas of the session were that they talked about how to make a self correcting quiz by creating a spreadsheet using Google Forms. You first create a quiz that you will give to your students. Once you have typed out all of the questions, you type out formulas so that you can tell what students got what answer right or wrong by typing their names in. You would then go over to the color choices and pick red for wrong and green for right. You would paste the color formula to the cell so that when they answer the question, the color pops up on the answer sheet that you created and they will know if they got the question correct of not.
2) I can use this when I am a teacher by creating short quizzes on Google Forms about different physical education activities and sports. By having them do this online, I will be able to see how they did on the quiz, write their grade down in the grade book, and they will be able to see what questions they got correct and wrong right after they are done.
3)Some pros to this session are that students will be able to see their grade right away, it is nice to see what questions the students got wrong. For instance, if everyone got the same question wrong, this will tell me that I did not explain that well enough and I will not punish them for that. Some cons are that the formulas can be difficult at times. If the students do not have a computer at home or my students are not able to get into the computer lab that could be a problem.

Self-grading quizzes on Google Forms are very convenient for both students and teachers. That was one of the additions I made to the spreadsheet topic page for our class wiki.
