Google Forms

How do I create a Google Form?

When you are logged into Google drive, you can create a fillable form for students.  This is a handy tool if you want to collect student feedback or create a quick formative assessment.  When making a Google form, you can collect short answers, long answers, checkbox responses (pick multiple), and multiple choice responses (pick one).  The data is then collected and organized in a spreadsheet.
To create a Google form, click on the orange "Create" button and select "Form".  


The next thing you'll notice at the top of the screen is a series of 3 checkboxes.  Depending on your activity, you'll have to change which boxes are checked.


If you have the first box checked, users will be able to edit their responses after they have completed the form.  

If the second box is checked, it would require a Waukesha faculty/staff login to view this form.  If this is a form that you would like to share with students, you would need to uncheck this box.  If you would like to require students to sign in, you would need to have the form created under a student account.  You would then need to access that same student account to view the results.  For example, for yearbook we would like to collect student information for the senior section in the yearbook.  We want to make sure that a student is required to sign in to avoid someone submitting information for someone else.  So, I had a student create the form under her account and she will then share the results with me.
