Forms

What is Forms?

Google Forms is a G Suite app used to create forms for data collection purposes. Students and teachers can make surveys, quizzes, exit tickets, or reflection sheets. Data gathered using the form is typically stored in a spreadsheet.

I like to tell my educators that there are basically three parts, start to finish, of a Form:

The editable element of a Form (Where you create the questions in the Form)
The Live Form (Give this URL to others when asking them to fill out a Form.)
The response Sheet (Where you go to see all the responses)

Ways You Can Use Google Forms in Your Classroom

Student Reflection

Students reflect on their learning goals, challenge areas and areas of success. Allow students to offer feedback on assignments. Click here to see the Form in edit form.

Self Evaluation

Students complete a self-assessment of their learning process. Self-assessment allows students the opportunity to critically evaluate their own performance. See an example here.

Breakout Locks

Students engage in digital breakouts or digital escape rooms and use Forms to unlock each code or lock. Data validation is used to unlock the final clue. See an example of a digital breakout here.

Branch Quiz

Branching a Form allows teachers to differentiate for students. Students are sent to a question or section of the Form based on their answer to a previous question. Click here to see how to set up a branch quiz.

Exit Ticket

Students fill out an exit ticket before leaving class so that the teacher can adjust lessons according to student need. Perhaps try using a branch quiz to create an exit ticket.

Digital Drop Box

Students turn in digital links to their work through a digital dropbox the teacher creates in Google Forms. The digital dropbox allows all student links to be curated into one place. Click here to use a digital dropbox template.
