My list of Google Docs

To make a form go to your google drive 1. Go to ‘more’ in the menu/ to Drive if you have Chrome 2. Go to ‘documents’ in the menu 3. Select the red box ‘Create’ from the page 4. Click on ‘Form’ from the list of types of documents (Document, Presentation, Spreadsheet, Form, Drawing, or Table) 5. Select a background 6. Set privacy and share options(share with anyone with the link is always a wise choice or list the google acct. names of persons to share it with). You are owner and they don’t need rights to edit a form or survey but would a spreadsheet or collaborative doc. 7. Decide if you want the first question to be ‘What is your name?’ or if you want the answers anonymous. 8. Start using the pull down menus to select what types of questions

Small edit icons show up when you hover your mouse over the top right area Edit Duplicate Trash

Text type answer Example: Question titleWhat is your last name? Answer box is small for one or two words

Paragraph Text Type Questions Example: What is your address? This type of box allows for a two or three sentence answer.

Mutliple Choice type questions Example: What shape is a chromozone? Help Text=put a dot by one answer Round Square Oval

Checkboxes for answers Example: Why do you check out library books? Help text- you may check as many as apply Pleasure reading Book reports Photo browsing research

Grid

Remember Copy the url link on the form and that to those you want to take the survey or fill out the form You can make it shorter by using but save the shortened link somewhere Under ‘Form’ put checkmark by ‘accepting responses’ til your deadline then uncheck it Next time you open it you will see the spreadsheet view of respondents’ answers and if you need the live form again that is in the ‘Form’ menu and select ‘go to live form’

Using the Results Under ‘Form’ you can go to ‘summary of responses’ after your deadline and you have charts and graphs showing percentages on those that were scales and grids or multiple choice questions
