I have been using Google Forms for a little over a year now. I originally used it in some basic ways like making a websearch assignments, but this semester I “fell in love” and slightly became obsessed with Google Form.
I have used Google forms in 
multiple ways this year: from creating rubrics for projects, to student information logs, to contact with parents, and even grading homework assignments. Google Form is a WONDERFUL resource that is under utilized in education.
Next year I plan on creating a getting to know you form with all my students information on the first day of school including parents names, phone numbers, emails. textbook numbers. Having all this information on one Google form spreadsheet can save me time and frustration. Another advantage to using forms is that it will be available electronically from any computer.
Here are some links to some useful forms I created. Feel free to share and modify.
- Timeline Rubric
- Course Evaluation
- Student Info Log
- Debate Sign Up
- Websearch
- Getting to know you written by Tom Barrett
Interesting ways to use Google Docs from my previous post.
Great post from the Pursuit of Technology Integration written by Michael Zimmer on how administrators could use Google Forms in classroom informal walkthroughs. Here is his sample form: ” Here is one already created that you could use as an example to start with.” Nice idea and I bet it makes walkthroughs a lot easier for administrators
