Google Forms and Flubaroo

I may be the only one that did not know this, but I figured it out last night. If you use Google forms for tests or quizzes, you can download Flubaroo to grade your quizes. I have been using Google forms for quizzes so that I could help save a tree and so that I would only have to grade one spreadsheet instead of many pieces of paper. Now with this plug-in and the click of a mouse, the quizzes are graded.

Here is the link: http://www.flubaroo.com/

If you have any questions or would like to see a demonstration, let me know.
