Forms

Designing questions, building forms and sharing out data collection tools

Our first attempt at form building. We will use this example to demonstrate how to automate responses when collecting data.

As well, we will discuss best practices for recurring annual data collection via forms

Example - Workshop Expectations (Responses)

NEXT, Now that we seen a simple form in action, let's build one from scratch

References for Google Forms tools. Use the "?" to access help center

Forms, like spreadsheets and Documents, are part of your Google Drive. They are created, saved and managed best there.

Below is the IU for creating forms

Sharing out Data Collection Tools

How to best send out forms for completion. This depends on what the data is:

Behavior data collected by those in the halls, lunchroom and playground
Parent night info
Staff reviews
Maintenance/Technology requests

Adding a quick link to your mobile device for completing forms

Android devices

Once you've created the form, Email yourself a link to the View Form URL
From your mobile device, click on the link in the email
This will open in your device's browser
When the page loads your form, next open the menu window by clicking on the 'three dots' in the upper right
Scroll down the menu list and select Add to Home Screen
From there you can give it a descriptive name and you're done

Apple iOS devices

Steps for Apple devices is very much the same, only difference is instead of the settings menu you will see a 'Share' icon at the bottom of the browser window. Once selected you should be able to scroll to find the Add to Home Screen button.
