Google Forms
What is a Google Form?
Google Forms is a tool that allows you to collect information from individuals via surveys or quizzes. The data gained from the Form can then be loaded into a Google Sheet.
Why Use Google Forms?
One of the best uses of Google Forms is the Quizzes feature. You can turn any survey into a self-grading quiz for students that has options for feedback. You are able to see descriptive data summaries for your responses, which is great for formative assessments!

Quick Tips and Best Practices for Google Forms
The "Make this a quiz" button must be toggled on before you can make a Form a Quiz.
Ensure the "Collect email addresses" option is enabled under Settings, General. If it is, the "Restrict to users in Columbia County School District ..." will be enabled for sign in.
Always include questions for first and last name.
Preview your form before you assign to students.
If sharing a Form/Quiz outside of Google Classroom, use the purple "Send" button in the upper-right. You can email it from this dialog box, or copy the link to email. We recommend that you do not copy the link from the Omnibox.
