Ok, now let's learn how to create our own quizzes. To do this we are going to begin using Google Drive. It is free and it is also rich in useful apps for our everyday use.
First of all, let's understand what exactly is Google Drive:




Ok, now let's start working.

Step 1
Log in using a Google account. If nobody has got one in your group, just ask me and I'll borrow you an account for students.



Step 2
Watch this other video (if you don't have headphones ask for a pair) and practice.




Step 3
Let's learn how to make an online quiz. Today we are going to focus on Google Forms which is a service of Google Drive to create online surveys and quizzes and send them to other people. Follow the instructions I'm going to give you.

Step 4
Now it's your go! take your English book and choose 3 question exercises and transform them into online quizzes (with the correct answers). Then give your classmates (at the computer next to you) the right link to your quizzes (you could send an email using Gmail) and ask them to answer the questions.
