This article is less about using Google forms and more about identifying sources of bias and prejudice in one's own teaching practice. I think it's a good introductory discussion overall, as it posits a set of thought experiments and activities that induce the reader to reflect on their own predispositions. I don't think this article will convince the openly sceptical about these subjects, but will be useful to those who are open and reflective. I do note the use of the word 'bias' throughout, instead of 'bias and prejudice'. The two words mean different things. Hating sushi before even trying it is prejudice; tending to prefer seafood over beef is bias.
