GOOGLE Forms

Creating & Using Google Questionnaires

3 weeks: Day: Tuesdays

Dates: Nov 15, Nov 22, Nov 29

Time: 4:00pm - 6:30pm at the Career Center

We will Create Questionnaires using Google Forms. Using Forms significantly reduces your work-load. Learning to be efficient is fun and empowering. We are going to dedicate this class to using Google's tools to collect data, eliminate data entry, and generate visual reports with graphs. I will teach you how to setup your form to email you alerts as questionnaires are being filled in. You will be introduced to the growing options of "Ad-Ons" to create Thank-You Letters, Certificates of Completion, Inventory Reports and Form Receipts. This is a great tool for Teachers, Parents, Business Owners and Non-Profit groups that need to learn to do more in less time.

Users should have a G-Mail account, be familiar with eMail, Word Processing, and Spreadsheets concepts. Many of you may know it is possible, and now you can learn to create these information gathering tools.

No software is required to be purchased, you can can bring your own laptops, tablets and phones to class or a desktop will be provided. If you have questions or would like help setting up a G-Mail account please call JilMac 802-254-8628 before class.

Forms are extremely versatile. The uses of forms and form add-ons grows every week. You can apply forms to an ever growing applications, as you learn to do more - you learn you can do more!
