    LEARNING ACTIVITY #2: GOOGLE FORMS

    Attached Files:

    Activity Google Forms is a useful tool to help you plan events, send a survey, give students a quiz, or collect other information in an easy, streamlined way. A Google form can be connected to a Google spreadsheet. If a spreadsheet is linked to the form, responses will automatically be sent to the spreadsheet. Otherwise, users can view them on the “Summary of Responses” page accessible from the Responses menu.

    1. Read through the bottom items related to Google Forms on the rubric.
    2. Watch Using Forms in Google Drive video to get an overview of Google Forms.
    3. You are going to create a Google Form that could be useful in your current major or future career. Keep the theme of the form consistent with the projects you have completed thus far in the course. Below is a description of what to include and a screencastvideo that will show you how to create a Google Form.
    4. NOTE: Google Forms have changed since these screencasts below were recorded. You should be able to “translate” to the new version but I will be recording a new replacement screencast and post it here early in the week.
    5. Click here to watch a screencast that will show you how to create a Google Form. Here is a reference document that can help you as well.
    6. Your Google Form must include:
      • There must be a title and a brief description.
      • The form must contain five questions, each being of a different question type: multiple choice, checkbox, text (short answer), linear scale, dropdown list.
      • You must also apply a theme to your form.
      • You DO NOT need to collect any responses at this time.
    7. Make sure to rename your document and that you give a meaningful name related to your form, like “A Survey on Dorm Life”, names like “My First Form” that say nothing about the form topic are not acceptable.
    8. When you are finished with the form, submit the URL to the LIVE form into the Module 12 Google Drive Project link below.
