If you've never used Google Forms before, I would recommend starting with this well-made introductory tutorial.

If you have some experience, feel free to skip this tutorial and dig into the deeper functions below!

One of the most common uses for Google Forms in the classroom is for making quizzes. Since it connects so easily to Google Classroom (and can autograde!) it's easy to understand why!

Using Google Forms, daily entry or exit tickets can easily be created, completed, and corrected.

These can be used for a quick daily review or an easy-to-complete daily SEL check-in.

Using the "Go to section based on answer" function, you can create "Choose your own adventure" or Escape Room types of activities for your students.

As with other activity types, I encourage you to do a Google search for pre-made activities of these types for your grade or content area that are great as starting points or ideas.

If your students are taking your quiz on a Chromebook, you have the option of enabling "Locked Mode" for that quiz. What that does is close all current tabs that the student has open and prevent them from opening any new tabs until the quiz is submitted. After the quiz, any previously open tabs will reload.

For Google Forms created as quizes, feedback can be added for individual responses that can only be viewed by that student after the quiz has been returned.

With the feedback function of Google Forms, you can choose different auto-responses for students based on whether they answered correctly or incorrectly on a quiz assignment. This "feedback" can include links to a review activity or a challenging activity.

Once a Google Form has been linked to a Google Sheet, Form submissions will auto-populate into the sheet allowing for better data customization and visualization, including creating custom graphs and charts from the collected data.

This function allows you to route a student through your Google Form depending on how questions are answered.

Examples include:

• Indicating right or wrong answers

• "Choose your own adventure" (more on that below)

With Forms, you have the option of both linking to an audio recording as part of a question or asking your students to submit a file of their own audio recording as an answer.

Customize the header, font, color, and theme of your Forms to make them more visually interesting!

Images can be used in Forms to display question content, like maps, equations, landmarks, and historical figures, or just to add additional color and visual appeal!

Images can also be used as answer options. Ex. "Which of these musical symbols represent an eighth note?"

Confirmation messages appear on the page after the form or quiz has been submitted. Ideas for these include:

• "Thank you for taking this quiz/survey"

• "Don't forget to let me know when you're done"

• "When you're finished, please work on..."

With response validation, you can set specific answer parameters that must be met for that question before it can be submitted. Examples include:

• A certain word

• Numbers (either a range or a specific answer)

• email address

• A certain length of response
