Forms

Forms are derived from spreadsheets. One certainly can make forms with Microsoft Office: Excel, or a similar type of software. And, one can make surveys that can be presented with a web interface using Microsoft Office: Access (their less well known database component to business versions of Office). However, perhaps it was Google's place to make the "mashup" of a sorts to combine the form function with email/web page presentation in a very easy manner.

A general introduction to Forms comes with this video __ [|video] __, but you may want also to take a look at the screencasts on your iPad, using iPod (lower right corner of the screen) and going to iTunes U. Please consider: Google Tools - "Creating Forms" and "Using Forms" Google Apps for Educators - "Module 5 Forms"

Be SURE to take a careful look at "How to Create Self-Grading Quizzes Using Google Forms" (__ [] __) to know how I prepared your quizzes for the CHIP track in this class. Along these same lines there are other "takes" on this idea: "Self-Grading Multiple Choice Tests with Google Docs," __ [] __ "How to Make a Self Calculating Survey," __ [] __ //Elementary//

Put together a brief form and share it with your lab partner to see how it works, including the self scoring.
