Click the picture above to make a copy of this form.

On any Google Form add a question that requires a real location to answer. Once participants have answered, click Responses and then the green Google Sheets link and make a new data sheet.

Click on the picture to go to the example map, then three dots to make a copy for yourself.

Once you have the Google Sheet with all the data on it, you can add that to a My Map. Make a new map, under Layer click Import. When prompted select the questions about the location. This will tie your data to the map and place markers on the map with all the data. Teachers can use this for presentations, get to know you activities, and bell ringers. Remember that through forms students can submit pictures, videos, links, etc. and those will show on their marker in the map as well.
