Google Forms

As you explore the tool, answer these questions (one group member can take notes on this page):
  1. What is it? How does it work? What's special about it?
    • A form front end for Google Spreadsheets. Can create the spreadsheet first or the form
    • Embedded the form can be embedded
    • Lots of text available for typing in cells
    • You can share the form with the spreadsheet
  2. How might it be useful for educators and students?
    • Free Rice; on Google Docs
    • Pre and post assessment for grouping kids in math
    • Mock election
    • Can share the spreadsheet and get an email for submissions
    • Self-assessment  for professional
  3. What else do you want to learn about it?
    • Can you password-protect  the form?
    • Can you have unique passwords for each user
    • Can you make forms "prettier"?
    • Integration between Docs, Spreadsheets and Forms so recognizable as a thematically linked.
Summary info to share back at your group tables
  • Easy way to collect data
  • Using for pre and post attendance
  • Separate first and last name
  • Embed in any site
  • Create the form first to select the field type
  • Can email the form in the email
  • Tip: because not passworded, give each kid a password to enter their data so you know there are not outliers

Finally, you will have approximately 5 minutes to share what you've learned when you return to your your team. (Each individual should share in the time allotted.)
