Classroom Ideas for Google Forms

Carol LaRow

Google Forms:

Google Docs also has "Forms," and they are right in the drop down menu along with Docs, Spreadsheets, and Presentations.

They are easy to create and offer a variety of uses in the school setting:

• Teachers can use them to survey students, generate assignments, construct lessons, and more.
• Students can create their own Forms as they create projects or collaborate in peer-to-peer assignments.
• And, both teachers and administrators can use them for meetings, district-wide departments, intra-district collaboration, communication with parents,
  and more. No need to wait until the committee or department convenes.
  

Google Forms have features which make collaboration and sharing of information easier:

• Post or email the Form, and as members fill them out, results are posted immediately.
• Editing can be done from any computer, any time. Just log into your Google account.
• You can share documents with those you choose or make them public.
• They can be embedded on WEB pages, blogs, and emails.
• They can be published online for anyone to access.
• Forms are easy to create and use.

There are sample Forms at the bottom of this page.
