Class Attendance

Start with your spreadsheet--the same one that you use for the pre-filled link we used earlier.

Just highlight the column of names in the spreadsheet & copy.
Go to your form and click on the first option in the question where you want the names.
Paste. Voila! All the items on your list appear as options in that question.
Add the last option as "All present."
Be sure to choose "checkboxes" to answer the question. Checkboxes allows you to mark more than one option.

See the 2 sheets of paper pictured next to the trashcan on the question you just finished?

Click the 2 sheets to duplicate your question. Now you can change "Absent" to "Tardy" and the list of names is the same.
Just in case a miracle occurs and no one is tardy, don't mark this question as "required."
OR change "All present" to "No one late."

Now you're ready to add it to the home screen of your phone/ipad.

Sign in to Google drive app on Safari on your phone.
Open the form, then go to "live form"; that is, you're no longer editing the form.
Below the live form, there is a send button (or email it to yourself, then go to form). This will show up if you're looking at the live form on Safari browser.
Now "add to home screen." You now have a super convenient button on your phone for taking class attendance.
You can use this method for anything you want to have at your fingertips. Just remember to access it through Safari, then add to home screen. Your very own app!
