 * Data Collection
 * Data Entry

2. Then in the Google Documents application click Create to create a new form.

You will be taken to the form editing screen.

The Add Item menu will give you a variety of choices for your question fields.



You can move form items around on the form so they are in the order you want them displayed. Just keep in mind, the spreadsheet that collects all of the data will have form items in the order you add them, not the order you have them arranged on the form.

You can select a theme for your form with the Theme button.

=Accessing and Embedding Forms= To view the form and test it out go to the "You can view the published form here:" link in the black strip at the bottom of the form editor. This will be a “stand-alone” page that you can use for quick access to a form.

You can also embed the form in another website and even Canvas by clicking on “More actions > Embed.” A prompt will appear with some HTML code that you can copy and paste into any website.



=Analytics= To access your data and spreadsheet from the form editor, click on the "See Responses" menu. You can also access the data by simply clicking on the form in the Google Docs list of documents when you initially login to Google Docs.

To get a more “at a glance” view of your data in various graphs, access the summary of responses by clicking on “Form > Show summary of responses” while in the spreadsheet view of the form or by clicking “See responses > Summary” in the form editor.

=Notification= You can have the form notify you via email whenever a submission is made to the form. To enable notification go to “Share > Set notification rules” in the spreadsheet view of the form. A dialogue box will appear where you can set the form to notify you when any changes are made to the spreadsheet or when a user submits a form. In addition you can have the form compile a daily digest of changes and submissions to email you or it can email you right away. Set both Teachers to Share mode. You should have us set up as a Contact.
