Google Forms is Revived and Kicking!





I have been a big fan of Google forms for many years. Recently, Google did a major overhaul making Forms much more user friendly. You can create simple or complex forms depending upon your needs and skill level. I love how you can copy the link of a form and send it out via email or through Edmodo for students/colleagues to view. 

If you are not familiar, read this quick description taken from Google's own words:

Create online forms and surveys (if you run a club or committee, you will love forms)
Collect RSVPs, run a survey, or quickly create a team roster with a simple online form. Then check out the results, neatly organized in a spreadsheet.

Get answers to your questions (a great tool for teachers so they can easily assess students)
Create simple or in-depth online surveys either individually or while working with colleagues thousands of miles away. Share them from a link, embed them on your website, or even right inside an email.

Sit back and watch the results come in
All responses to your questions are neatly organized in a spreadsheet, so sorting and analyzing data is a snap.

Access anywhere, anytime
All your form data is automatically organized in Google Sheets and stored in Google Drive. Access them wherever you go, from any device.


Here are some sample forms I am currently using:
1. Unit Reflection
2. Unit Mini Assessment
3. Sign Up Form

In the coming days, I plan to post more ways you can use Google Forms in your classroom. If you want a sneak peek, you should check out Flubaroo (grade student assessments in seconds) and Doctopus (make student submission of Google Docs less time consuming and more efficient).
