Google Forms

Google forms are such a versatile web 2.0 tool! It allows you to gather and organize information easily on the internet.

One way I used this tool was by creating a 'Getting To Know You' questionnaire for the first week of class. I included questions like...

• what is your name
• what is your favorite color
• what is your favorite part of school

What I really liked about Google Forms was that it allowed me to choose among a variety of question formats. For favorite name and color, I used a fill in the box type of format. For the favorite part of school, I listed things like Math, Reading, Recess, Music, Science, Lunch, etc. Each had a box next to it and the student could check all that they liked. For other questions I chose a multiple choice format. This flexibility is really a great asset of Google Forms.

Another cool feature is that the information is automatically organized into a spreadsheet for the administrator. This occurs in real time so it is very helpful.
