Google Forms for Documentation

Hey everyone,
James Howard was kind enough to send out a sample of his Google Form that he created to document activities related to Domain 3: Leadership. I saw a few samples such as his on the Edmodo forums and thought a quick tutorial was in order. Also, realize that you may simply copy a form someone else created and change the names to protect the Innocent. There is somewhat of a learning curve in using Google Forms but if you move around in it enough, you will get the hang of it. I have made this tutorial in effort to reduce that curve.

You may just say "Who needs a Google Form when I can just make up a spreadsheet and record my data?" If that is you and you would rather do that, that's fine. By using a Google Form you can complete the form anywhere you have Internet access and from any machine. It transfers automatically to a spread sheet. You can save that spreadsheet to a PDF and upload it directly into the Standard for Success teacher website. Also, another benefit of using Google Forms is that it gives you experience with Google Docs and this is a great tool for student surveys, tests, and any data collection you would like to do. If you use it for a quiz or test, it may be set to grade all multiple choice or one word responses for you. If you have free response questions, you will see student response on the spreadsheet. I could go on and on as the potential is huge.

Anyway, below is the tutorial on how to set yours up. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me, James, Kathy, or anyone who is using it. We would be happy to fill in any missing pieces.
